Research Interests
I have focused on software industrialization research. I developed pragmatic approaches and tools for automated enforcement of complex quality rules applied to code, design and business-process definitions. Currently, I lead research in software metrics and mining software engineering data. Of the different facets of software engineering, I am particularly interested in the social aspects of software engineering. "How to make individual programmers and project teams more effective and efficient?" is a question that interests me.
Recent Projects
Currently, I am working on mining data from software engineering tools and repositories and analytics of that data. The research looks at applying rules and heuristics, predictive models and social network analysis techniques to determine a software delivery project’s health along three intersecting dimensions quality, activity and process and team.

Short Biography
En route to Accenture Technology Labs, I have been a network design and optimization engineer, gave a shot at running a business and was involved in academics. I was a senior faculty in the Symbiosis Center for Information Technology, Pune (India), a premier post-graduate school in IT and Business Management. I taught several courses in network design and optimization and wireless networks. Prior to joining Accenture, I worked as a senior researcher at Software Engineering and Technology Labs, Infosys. There the work was primarily in wireless networks, pervasive computing and P2P distributed systems.
