Research

Research Interests

  • My present research interests centre around refactoring, and especially the use of search-based software engineering in automated refactoring. Related interests include design patterns, software metrics and code smell detection.

Collaborators

Internal Collaborators

  • I regularly collaborate with Allen Higgins in the UCD Business School on areas of software methodology.

External Collaborators

  • I have an ongoing collaboration with Dr. Mikal Ziane of the University of Paris 5 on the use of explicit decoupling constraints to aid software maintenance.

    Together with Dr. Alexander Chatzigeorgiou of the University of Macedonia we are looking at the evolution of code smells in closed-source software.

    I work with Prof. Mark Harman (Kings College, London), Dr, Steve Counsell (Brunel) and Dr. Laurence Tratt (Middlesex University using search-based software engineering to investigate relationships between software metrics.

    Our search-based refactoring platform, Code-Imp, is built on the RECODER framework maintained in Linnaeus University, Sweden.
