				About 
				
				
				
				
				
				
				An Associate Professor of Computer Science at Montclair State 
				University, I co-direct the Software Systems lab at the Center 
				for Computing and Information Science. 
				 
				
				
				 
				 
				
				I am interested in 
				
				software development planning, analysis, and management, 
				and particularly in 
				
				
				improving software quality
				by 
				
				improving the processes and practices 
				involved in software development.
				
				
				My research applies an interdisciplinary approach to various 
				phases of the software development process. My research on human 
				factors that impact software design focuses specifically on 
				bringing a Cognitive Psychology style interpretation to how 
				intentions and biases can be encoded into software design 
				artifacts and the final software product itself. I have also 
				applied machine learning and data mining techniques to textual 
				datasets containing software requirements, software inspection 
				reports, and software security and vulnerability data. 
				
				
				
				
				
				 
				
				
				
				The 
				objective of my doctoral project 
				
				
				(with, 
				
				Dr. 
				Gursimran Singh Walia and
				
				Dr. Jeffrey C. Carver)
				was to integrate Software 
				Engineering and Cognitive Psychology research, with the goal of 
				developing 
				human 
				cognition based 
				methods for improving software process/product quality.
