The vision of our research program is to retain the workflows of software construction as they exist today in the form of Continuous Integration (CI) systems, and yet support automated software evolution with formal correctness guarantees, thereby engendering trust in automatically generated code. Our research program can help achieve such a vision via analysis, verification, and test generation. Applications of repair studied in the program will include security vulnerability repair, patch transplantation across versions of major software systems such as Linux, as well as the use of agentic workflows to automate software evolution.

You will work on pioneering projects that advance the application of AI and ML within the realm of software engineering. This role offers the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research, develop novel algorithms, and contribute to the development of software tools that enhance system performance, reliability, and flexibility.

Responsibilities

• Conduct applied research in integrating AI/ML techniques with software engineering practices to improve code quality, testing, and software maintenance.
• Design and implement experimental prototypes to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of new methodologies.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including AI researchers, software engineers, and product managers, to translate research findings into practical applications.
• Stay informed about the latest advancements in AI/ML and software engineering to identify emerging trends and opportunities for innovation.
• Publish research findings in leading academic conferences and journals, and present innovative work to the broader research community.

Requirements and Skills

• Master's or Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in computer science, information technology, engineering, or related field.
• Strong research background in AI, ML, and/or SE with a solid publication record in A and A* level conferences/journals. Minimum of 2 publications in top-tier conferences or journals.
