I study how developers understand and review complex software changes.

Software engineering research and development

I am part of the Computer Science MSc program at the Informatics Center of the Federal University of Pernambuco and a member of the Software Productivity Group.

My work combines empirical software engineering with the design and development of tools that help programmers understand relationships between code changes.

Current research interests

• Code review and program comprehension
• Semantic dependencies between code changes
• Developer tools and software visualization
• Large language models for software engineering
