Past research focused on analysis of C with pointers, change impact analysis for large software systems and development of new analyses.

Current focus is on modeling power consumption.
This includes work on modification side effect analysis of C programs, several kinds of pointer alias analysis of varying degrees of flow and context sensitivity and def-use analysis of C programs. Recent work in this category has emphasized re-engineering techniques for scalability. This work addresses the problem of keeping data flow information consistent with the current state of source code of a program. The newest work here is an incremental version of flow and context-sensitive MOD analysis for C codes.
