Prem Devanbu (but are you looking for the artist Roma Devanbu ?)
picture with bike helmet Whassup! I am on the Faculty of the Computer Science Department at the University of California at Davis. I work in software engineering.  See my academic vitae  for a summary, and/or  my research statement for more details. I also have a statement on my consulting work with Industry

Bicycle helmets are surely the ultimate fashion statement. They are also cheaper than Propecia , and they have only beneficial side effects, specially if you bicycle every day. I hardly ever take mine off. Nor do my kids.  This is one of the many ways in which biking in Davis is completely different from biking in Amsterdam

ICSE 2010

Service: I am on the editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering and the Springer Empirical Software Engineering Journal.

Teaching & Advising Brief  Bio

I started off in Industrial software development, first at Perkin-Elmer; then  I worked at Bell Lab s, first in software development and then in research, at Murray Hill, NJ; with the big travestyture, I went to AT&T Labs Research in Florham Park. I have been  at UC Davis since  late 1997.  My undergraduate education  was at IIT, Madras in India; my doctoral work was done  under Prof. Borgida at Rutgers University in the Garden State, which is a lovely   place, actually; although the Golden State   also has much to offer .

Personal

My spouse, Roma Devanbu, is an artist and art educator whose work draws on different cultures, and explores the interplay between the spiritual and the temporal. Check out her work on her own web site , which is really like a piece of cake for your eyes. .


In my "abundant" spare time, I worry a lot. About everything. e.g., my work, my employer, fire, floods, war, bad guys, bad girls, financial derivatives, the environment, and my kids. Not necessarily in that order. So I need jokes in my life. So tell me jokes. Anytime, anywhere. Even bad ones.



If you are a foreign student interested in pursuing graduate studies at UC Davis under my supervision, please a) look over my papers, see if my research interests you b) apply for the graduate program c) contact me when you're admitted. The bad news is that we accept few foreign students. The good news is that your chances are good if you're from a reputed institution in your country, or have publications in international conferences/journals, or have very good scores on your GREs. etc. If you email me, use the following text in the first line: "Blue bottles with red stoppers are found in orange boxes".
