Background
Mark Grechanik is a researcher with the Accenture Technology Labs. He earned his Ph.D. in computer science from the department of Computer Sciences of the University of Texas at Austin under the mentorship of Don Batory and Dewayne E. Perry. His dissertation committee members are Kathryn S. McKinley, William R. Cook, David Garlan, and Karl J. Lieberherr.
Grechanik’s research focuses on increasing programmers' productivity by improving software reuse and automating various activities at different stages of the development lifecycle. In his research, Grechanik utilizes various techniques from software engineering, language design, program analysis, and machine learning to address specific issues that affect programmers when they design, debug, and test software.
