Academic Service

I am happy for a little academic service, during my PhD, as an additional reviewer for ICPC 2017, SANER 2017, ICPC 2016, ICSME 2015, and ICSE 2015. And also being part of the organization committee of BENEVOL2017 workshop. The proceedings of BENEVOL2017 here.

Students

I have had the privilege to mentor (and learn from) following excellent students.

• Gerardo Orellana did his masters internship with us and worked on the MSR 2017 mining challenge to study the differences between unit and integration testing. His work eventually resulted in a publication at MSR 2017.

• Mathias Beke did his masters thesis to compare the software quality attributes between client-side and server-side rendering technologies for the web development.

• Wannes Ghielens did his masters internship with us and evaluated the performance of different Android Layout Frameworks. His work is documented as a technical report.
