Research Program: Usable Developer and Data Science Products
My research lies at the intersection of three areas in computer science: Systems Engineering, Human Computer Interaction (HCI), and Machine Learning (ML) with/or Natural Language Processing (NLP). Systems development with software engineering (SE), data science (DS), and cybersecurity engineering (CE) skills are now indispensable across organizations. I design usable and practical AI-assisted developer and data science tools to support the SE/DS/CE professionals.

Research Interests
- Democratized Data Science (HCI → AI4DS, SE4DS). Can we democratize the adoption of AI/ML techniques across stakeholders during ML systems development?
- Modernized Software Issue Management (HCI → AI4SE). Can we modernize software bug and critical incident management systems using AI-assisted solutions?
- Usable Cybersecurity Engineering (HCI → AI4CE). Can we support better integration of AI-assisted security solutions into (networked) software systems?
- Guided API Adoption (HCI → AI4SE). Can we support software teams and developers during their selection and reuse of APIs using AI-assisted solutions?
