Hi there!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Boise State University. I completed my Ph.D. work under the supervision of Dr. Jeffrey Carver at the University of Alabama. My research interests lie in the area of Software Engineering, which includes Empirical Software Engineering, Research Software Engineering, Software Quality Assurance such as Software Testing, Peer Code Review, and Software Metrics, and Software Engineering Education.

***My lab welcomes fulbright scholars, visiting scholars, postdocs, and researchers from all around the world. Please feel free to email me.
