He obtained his PhD at the GH-SEL lab at Ghent University (Belgium). His research focuses on understanding software systems to better support software development practitioners. Currently, his top three research interests are software production (e.g., build systems), software modularity (e.g., concern mining) and software ecosystems (e.g., developer contribution management). His work has been published at premier software engineering venues such as the ICSE, ASE, ICSM, WCRE and AOSD conferences, and has received funding from Research in Motion, SAP and NSERC. In addition to serving in program committees of multiple conferences and workshops, he co-organized the PLATE 2009, ACP4IS 2010, MUD 2010 and MISS 2011 workshops, and currently is program chair of the IWESEP 2011 workshop in Nara, Japan.
