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
expert witness, and
consulting work
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, for fear of blinding passers-by with my scalpenglow™ This is one of the many ways in which biking in Davis is from biking in Amsterdam. Even Rajni would wear a helmet, if he had one. |
Service: I was recently and honorably discharged
from the ed board of IEEE
Transactions
on Software Engineering and am
delighted to join the Ed board of
the Springer Verlag Empirical Software Engineering Journal.
and also Wiley Journal of Software Maintenance and Evolution,
Research and Practice . Some years ago, I also did a stint on
the ed board of ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology
I program-chaired
ACM SIGSOFT FSE in 2006 in Portland, OR;
more recently
I co-chaired the program for
ICSE 2010 in Cape Town, with
Seb Uchitel. Check out
ICSE 2011,
ICSE 2012,
ICSE 2013,
and
ICSE 2013,
for ever-increasing software engineering fabulousness.
Office Hours, FQ 2012: Tuesdays 1340-1510, except for Oct 11; come Oct 13 same time instead.
My Academic Lineage is the same as
William Cohen's , and
extends back to such luminaries as Maxwell,
Newton, Bernoulli, Poisson, Euler, and Leibniz. Those guys were smart, but
didn't wear bike helmets. Look what happened to them. Where are they now, HAH?
HAH? HAH?. Let that be a lesson.

Graduate Seminar in Open Source Software Engineering I'm very lucky to have some great graduate students and Post-Docs. I started off in Industrial software development, first at Perkin-Elmer; then I worked at Bell Labs, 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 .
