My research is concentrated in the area of Software Engineering (SE). It is stimulated by the need of continuously evolving software development processes and practices to help organizations produce high-quality software intensive systems and achieve their business goals. Believing in close cooperation and alignment between industry and academia, my key research capabilities lies in the area of Empirical Software Engineering. My primary goal is to apply qualitative and quantitative research methods to investigate the role of people and processes in different software development paradigms. The key areas of my research interests include: Global Software Development (GSD), Knowledge Management, Continuous Software Engineering, Human factors in Software Engineering, Science to Technology Innovation and Socio-Technical aspects of Cyber Security.
