Laura Moreno is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Colorado State University. Her research interests are in Software Engineering, particularly in software maintenance and evolution and program comprehension. The core of her research is empirical in nature and focuses on the development of tools, methodologies and practices that help software developers better understand and change large-scale software. Her work leverages information contained in various software artifacts through techniques that are at the intersection of software engineering, information retrieval, natural language processing, data mining, and machine learning. Papers resulting from her research have been published in top software engineering venues, including the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE), the ACM/SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE), the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE), and the IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME). She has served as organizing committee member and program committee member for several conferences in the field.
