Brief BioI am currently a PhD candidate in the School of Information and Computer Science, University of California Irvine. My advisor is Prof. Cristina Lopes, Department of Informatics, University of California Irvine.Before joining University of California Irvine, I worked at Tata Research Development and Design Center, India . During summers, I have interned at SRCH2, a startup specialized in improving user experiences in the domain of search, and Interactive Entertainment Business group at Microsoft Silicon Valley campus. |
Research InterestsMy primary research interest has been in the area of Software Engineering with the emphasis on Software Evolution. I am interested in developing theoretical and practical techniques and tools for helping people to create, understand, and modify software systems. My research activities to achieve this goal so far span the spectrum from quantitative measures for software properties, to analysis of software changes, to code modularization, to code re-factoring, to developing new debugging techniques.Machine learning algorithms and Information Retrieval have proven to be of great practical value in a variety of domains. The field of software engineering turns out to be one such fertile domain where many software development and maintenance tasks could be formulated as learning problems and Machine Learning techniques could be applied to obtain solutions. I believe that in order to ultimately overcome the essential difficulties, it has been recognized that both the processes and products of software development should be formalized and automated, and AI techniques can play an important role in this effort. Of the many AI techniques, ML and IR methods have found their way into the software development in the past twenty years Links |

Looking forward to it.It was a long trip to Europe in June. Attended ICSE in Zurich to present our MSR challenge paper. Headed to Passau, Germany to attend ICPC and present our paper on scaling clone detection and a doctoral symposium paper on architecture recovery. Good feedback :) Our paper "Application Architecture Discovery: Towards Domain-driven, Easily Extensible Code Structure" was awarded as the outstanding paper award at TCS's CTB (Corporate Technology Board) meeting. It's good to win corporate awards too :) I attended India Software Engineering Conference, 2012, Kanpur from Feb 20-25 and presented our work on "Easing Software Evolution: A Change-data and Domain-driven Approach" I visited Williamsburg, VA for ICSM 2011 where we had a paper in the research track on Clones in open source java systems I am planning to go to Limerick, Ireland to attend WCRE 2011 where we have a paper in the industrial track I will be attending Splash 2011 in Portland, Oregon from October 23 - October 29 as a student volunteer!
