Research Focus

  • Multi-modal and sketch-based user interfaces
    • Specifying and controlling user interactions with software systems through 2D and 3D gestures, voice commands etc.
    • Sketch-based software engineering: Understanding and manipulating software artifacts through sketches on code, models, user interfaces
  • Interaction among software project stakeholders
    • Facilitating effective communication between team members from heterogeneous backgrounds
    • Identifying risks, uncertainties and value drivers early in a project, and focusing collaboration on these aspects
  • Software engineering for high-performance computing
