Research Initiatives

Empirical studies advancing software engineering through data-driven insights.

A group of people are seated in a circular arrangement in a conference room, with a central table and chairs. The atmosphere suggests a formal meeting or discussion. Several individuals appear to be engaged in conversation, while others are listening attentively. There are bright lights overhead, multiple screens on the walls showing the image of one of the participants, and the walls are branded with 'World Economic Forum.' The attendees are dressed formally.

Cognition Studies

Investigating developer cognition to enhance software engineering practices and methodologies.

A conference room with a long wooden table surrounded by chairs covered in protective plastic. Multiple computer monitors are placed on tables against the walls, each displaying nature-themed images. The walls are lined with wood paneling, and a sign indicating a center for artificial intelligence is displayed at the front. There are decorative flower arrangements on the table, and the overall setup suggests a professional environment.

Three people are sitting around a conference table in a modern office. One person is wearing a red blazer and is speaking, while the other two listen and have open laptops in front of them. Papers with charts and graphs are scattered on the table. In the background, there are gray acoustic panels on the wall and a flip chart with colorful notes.
