Graduate Research Assistant Position in Programming Languages and Software Engineering

Overview

I am currently seeking a graduate student interested in programming languages and software engineering research to commence at the Fall 2017 semester. Potential research topics include (static/dynamic) program analysis and/or transformation (e.g., refactoring) with a focus on helping to maintain and/or evolve large and complex existing software systems. Potential topics also include automated bug finding approaches and software security w.r.t. software evolution and/or component composition. The successful candidate will be expected to work on projects that normally yield open source developer tool research prototypes, typically plug-ins to popular IDEs, build systems, or static analyzers. More information can be found on on the main supervisor’s webpage.

Of particular interest are students interested in applying to the City University of New York – CUNY’s Graduate Center Ph.D. program in Computer Science concurrently with the research assistantship, see below.

The Ph.D. Program application deadline is January 1, 2016. Please see below for additional details on applying.

Upcoming Event: Towards Improving Interface Modularity in Legacy Java Software Through Automated Refactoring at the Computer Systems Technology Colloquium

I’ll be giving a talk on improving interface modularity in legacy Java software through automated refactoring at the CST Colloquium next month.

The skeletal implementation pattern is a software design pattern consisting of defining an abstract class that provides a partial interface implementation. However, since Java allows only single cl…
