I research the intersections of the Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Software Engineering (SE) areas, mainly on topics related to Open Source Software development.
Current Research Topics
- Change coupling/bug prediction
 - Software Coupling Evolution and Impact
 - Support for newcomers to Open Source Software
 - Behavior of contributors in social coding environments
 - Crowdsourcing software engineering
 - Teaching Software Engineering and Open Source Software
