Research

My research has focused on software engineering, particularly empirical software engineering (SE), pair programming, agile software development, and SE experimentation. I have conducted studies that investigated the effects of personality on the effectiveness of pair programming as a pedagogical tool in CS/SE education using the Five-Factor theory. I have a major interest in research related to applying or improving the evidence-based software engineering, in particular systematic literature reviews, and systematic mapping studies.

Research activities and possible projects with me can be found here. Contact me if you are looking for applying to Masters or PhD program in software engineering or computer science.

Publication

A list of my publications can be found here. Some of of these studies can be found at Google scholar or DBLP or ACM Digital Library or IEEExplore.

Teaching

I have been involved in teaching various undergraduate Computer Science and Information Systems courses at the Kulliyyah of ICT, International Islamic University Malaysia. Courses include Object Oriented Programming, Software Metrics and Models, Empirical Methods in Software Engineering, Project Management in Software Engineering, Java Programming, Requirements Engineering, and Information Technology. I have also involved in supervising students' final year project (FYPs) for Computer Science students. My teaching activities can be found here.
