I work mainly on supporting developers in coding activities in software development, maintenance, and evolution aspect. My research area lie in the general area of Software Engineering (SE), Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine learning applied to SE, Program Comprehension, Object-Oriented Programming, Green Software Engineering, and Sustainable Software Engineering.
Prior to my PhD, I have worked in software engineering industry in different profiles.
