Abram is an assistant professor at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada within the Department of Computing Sciences
In the middle of 2011, Abram was a visiting researcher at Microsoft Research. From 2010 to 2011, Abram was a postdoctoral scholar at UC Davis under Prof. Prem Devanbu and Prof. Zhendong Su. If you can get a postdoc position in this lab, do it! |

What can I offer you?
- Methods, Technology and Tools for characterizing past developer behaviour in a software project, based on information stored in Source Control Repositories.
- Methodology and tools to relate software evolution and software power consumption / software energy use / software power use: Green Mining
What questions do I seek to help answer?
- Instead of applying off the shelf learners to bug deduplication, let's leverage software engineering domain knowledge to aid bug deduplicatoin.
- Can we see the topics of requirements that commits are addressing? Can we relate implementation and requirements over time?
- Recurrent Behaviour: Is there recurrent behaviour in software development? Well take a look at these plots!
- Recurrent Behaviour is complicated: In fact, it is often multifractal!
- How can we characterize how developers behave around release time?
- Software Process Recovery - how can we start to extract software development processes from software history? Also see CSER Keynote
- What's in a Name - How can we automatically name developer topics?
- Recovered Unified Process Views - Extract Unified Process Views from software histories.
- Software Readability - What are we actually saying when we talk about the readability of source code?
- Got Issues? - Do new features and new improvements affect defects?
- Is there EVIDENCE of Android Fragmentation? - How portability affects the bug reports within Android.
- Can we cheaply measure the complexity of revisions?
