My research examines how software is developed and maintained as AI agents take on a greater role, and what this means for software quality, reliability, and trustworthiness. My recent work investigates how agents use repository knowledge, configuration files, and feedback loops; how their contributions can be reviewed, verified, and evaluated; and how developers collaborate with them, delegate tasks, and assess the results. I also study the implications of AI for open-source communities, including its effects on contribution practices, code review, and the responsibilities of developers and maintainers.

I am always interested in recruiting highly motivated PhD students: contact me by email and see the SMU PhD programme.
