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
- Support for newcomers to Open Source Software
- Behavior of contributors in social coding environments
- Role of incentives on newcomers motivation
- Change coupling/bug prediction
- Gamification as a way to motivate and retain developers
- Crowdsourcing software engineering
- Teaching Open Source Software
