Currently, I am working as a Research Scientist at Avaya Labs, Avaya.

Research interests:

Generating code from UML design models.

This work focuses on rules for generating skeleton method bodies from UML behavioral models.

Testing UML design models.

The research is concerned with developing mechanisms that support the dynamic testing of UML design models.

Software Development Processes.
