Research

My current research interests focus on requirements engineering in , , and contexts. I am also investigating practical and automated ways to manage software traceability and to test scientific software. My earlier work focused on an ecological-evolutionary, foraging-theoretic approach to understanding and improving developers' search for relevant information in their daily activities, such as debugging, refactoring, and reuse. Our research is funded by NSF, EPA, NSA, AFRL, ERDC, ECI, P&G, and Ohio Cyber Range.
