Background
  • Canada Research Chair (Tier 1)
  • IEEE Fellow, ACM Fellow, Fellow of the Academy of Science of the Royal Society of Canada, Member of Academia Europaea
  • Research focuses on the intersection of Software Engineering (SE) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Adapts SE techniques to AI systems (e.g., automated testing, safety analysis) and applies AI to automate software development tasks (e.g., testing, security audits, fault repair, requirements QA)
  • Most projects are conducted in collaboration with industry partners
  • Research interests include: Trustworthy AI (testing, safety, security, requirements), testing/verification/validation of software systems (including ML and security), requirements engineering, applications of ML and evolutionary computing to SE, automated regulatory/legal compliance, model-driven development, and software quality assurance
