Research
My primary fields of interest are systems and software engineering, specifically in unorthodox modeling to measure and improve software quality using natural language processing.
Current research interests:
- Software quality synergy and conflict
- Software quality measurement
- Non-functional requirement
- Applied NLP in software quality measurement
