About Me

Large software systems carry design knowledge that is almost never written down. My research recovers it automatically using MSR, NLP, AI4SE or combination of these. This work has produced three open-source tools (DPD, CodeLabeller and DPS) and published in Q1 journals including the Journal of Systems and Software and Empirical Software Engineering. I serve on the program committees of ICSE 2026, 2027, FSE 2027, ICSME 2026 and APSEC 2026.

As an academic, I have been teaching since 2017 in different capacities across universities in Australia, covering units in software engineering, programming, AI and cybersecurity - consistently earning strong student evaluations (> 4 out of 5). Recently, at the University of Adelaide, I led the review and refresh of more than 25 units in Software Engineering, Data Science and Cybersecurity disciplines, aligned to ACS and TEQSA accreditation requirements. Earlier I held teaching specialist positions at the University of Melbourne.

Currently, I hold an adjunct affiliation with the Department of Software Systems and Cyber Security, Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University, where I teach postgraduate units, and supervise Master's and PhD students. I completed my PhD at Dalian University of Technology in 2016 under Prof. He Jiang, and hold an MSc in Software Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology.

I am currently seeking a continuing Lecturer / Senior Lecturer position in Computer Science or Software Engineering.
