I am currently an Associate Professor at The University of Newcastle, Australia. Before that, I was a Lead Researcher at Microsoft Research (2014-2016), an associate professor at Tsinghua University, China (2006-2014), a lecturer at RMIT University, Australia (2003-2006); and a software engineer at IBM Singapore (1999-2000). I received my PhD degree in Computer Science from School of Computing, National University of Singapore in 2003.

My research is in the area of software engineering, in particular, software analytics, software testing and debugging, software maintenance, and software reuse. The main theme of my research is to improve software quality and productivity by mining and analyzing software data. I am always open for collaborations!

Research Area:

My research area is software engineering, in particular:

• software analytics, mining software repository, data-driven software engineering
• software testing, debugging, fault diagnosis
• compiler testing and validation
• software maintenance and reuse

The main theme of my research is to improve software quality and productivity by utilizing knowledge mined from software repositories. Over the years, a software organization could accumulate a large amount of data including source code, bug reports, execution logs, changes, metrics, documents, and so on. Data mining, machine learning, and information retrieval techniques can be applied to extract knowledge from the software data and solve software engineering problems. Together with my students and collaborators, I have published more than 110 research papers in reputable international journals and conferences.

Software analytics is to enable software practitioners to perform data exploration and analysis in order to obtain insightful and actionable knowledge for real tasks around software and services. I work on software analytics for production logs, source code, bug reports, and crash reports.

I also work on: Bug Analysis and Prediction (statistical analysis of bugs and prediction of bug-prone modules), Debugging and Testing (detecting, locating, and fixing bugs), Software Metrics (quantitative measurement of software product and process), and Software Reuse (reusing previously-written software).
