Research Interests

My major research interests are to investigate the pragmatic mechanisms to support the application of the Software Engineering (SE) theory and principles in software projects and to enhance the quality of the software products.

The hybrid approaches and techniques from many disciplines, such as artificial intelligent, knowledge engineering, decision making and decision support theory, management science, mathematical theory, information technology and database techniques are used in my research.

In summary, my research interests are listed below:

• Requirements engineering

• Automation of the software test case generation and regression test case managements from requirements engineering perspectives

• Intelligent support for software engineering, and process engineering (Including knowledge-based SE, ontology-based SE, and intelligent SE tool)

• Agile software processes and context-aware software engineering

• Software reuse (Objected-oriented framework reuse)

• Visualizing objects behavior and relationships to facilitate OO program comprehension. 

PS: I have got many queries about the possibilities of graduate study and research in my research group both at Master and PhD level. It is not realistic for me to reply them all, I apologize for not being very responsive to some queries. However, if you have very good marks in your bachelor (for Master) or honor degree or Master degree (for PhD) with major in software engineering or computer science, and have good mathematical skill, please do not hesitate to contact with me. I will reply within one week.

Following the links, you can find the relevant information for admission and scholarships (for both domestic and  international students).

Visiting research fellows are welcomed if you have good tracking record of research in the relevant area given above.

The information about the early career researchers Fellowships for European is available from here.
