Diego Elias Damasceno Costa
Hi, I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSSE) department of Concordia University Before, I worked as an Assistant Professor with the Computer Science department at UQAM in Montréal, Canada. I was a postdoctoral researcher at Concordia University, Canada, working with Prof. Emad Shihab. I received my PhD from Heidelberg University, Germany in the Parallel and Distributed Systems Group of Prof. Andrzejak.
I am interested in Software Engineering Research. In a few words, I want to reduce the burden on software developers by tackling aspects related to software maintenance and software performance. I like to leverage historical project data (e.g., GitHub) through Data Mining methods and apply Machine Learning and Statistical Analysis techniques to understand the problems developers face and provide insights/solutions to alleviate the issues.
