Are you an undergrad at UW looking for research opportunities?

I'm currently looking for new collaborators! If you don't really know what research is about or static analysis is, that's fine, we can learn together.

The best way to get in touch about collaborating with me is to attend the PLSE group's software engineering reading group, where you can get a flavour of what software engineering research is like.

About

I'm a PhD student at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. I work with Michael D. Ernst and René Just as a member of the Programming Languages and Software Engineering (PLSE) group. The best part about being in a research lab is how one can soak up knowledge like a sponge simply by sitting around.

I previously worked with Gail C. Murphy as a member of the incredibly fun Software Practices Lab at the University of British Columbia. My research during that time investigated tool usability in the context of integrated development environments. During my time at UBC, I also worked as a teaching assistant for most of the software engineering and programming courses offered, ranging from introductory programming to software engineering.
