Welcome to my site! I'm currently
working at IBM Research at the
T.J. Watson Research Lab in
Cambridge, MA.
I am interested in software engineering research such as API usage, recommendation systems, software navigation, software evolution, concern characterization.
I also enjoy economic topics such as game theory and agent base simulation.
