I am on the job market, looking for tenure-track professorships. Application materials: Teaching Statement, Research Statement, CV. Here is my talk info. My interview schedule:

• Feb 20-21, CS department UIUC
• April 19, EECS department Oregon State University
• April 22-23, CS department CMU
• May 3, CS department NC State University

In 2007 I got a PhD from the CS department at UIUC. After a postdoct at MIT CSAIL, I moved back to my Alma Mater to lead research on refactorings that retrofit parallelism. Our mission is to make parallel programming synonymous with programming.

RESEARCH INTERESTS
Successful software undergoes constant change. My research addresses two important questions:

1. What changes occur most often in practice?
2. How can we automate them to improve programmers' productivity and software quality?

General interests:- program transformation, automated refactoring, design & architectural patterns, and broadly interested in concurrency and parallelism, object-oriented frameworks, software development processes, software testing, and software evolution.

Research Impact:

• our latest refactorings that empower Java programmers to use lambda expressions are shipping with the official release of the NetBeans IDE.
• PhD research on record-and-replay of API-level refactoring ships with the official release of the Eclipse IDE and are used by millions of Java developers.
• the automatic inference of refactorings has been used at large companies like Google and IBM, and dozens of research labs.
• our ASTGen test generation framework is used in the testing infrastructure at Oracle.
• empirical studies (one and two) on usage of concurrent libraries has influenced the development of the official libraries in .NET and Java.
• our resource on learning parallelism in .NET receives more than 30,000 visitors in the last 6 months.
• many years ago I developed the world's first open-source refactoring engine for Java, and was downloaded over 17,000 times.

NEWS:

• March 2013: our paper wins best paper award at ICST'13
• March 2013: I am fortunate to receive a second Microsoft Research SEIF Award in 2013

• Aug 2012: NSF awarded me a grant to continue the research on Interactive Refactoring for Parallelism.
• July 2012: I am leading a $2.2M-funded project by NSF on creating a new generation of development environments that treat changes intelligently.
• July 2011: I got a second son, healthy and with lots of hair and appetite.
• May 2011: Microsoft interviews me about refactoring for parallelism, on Channel 9".
• Fall 2010: I am joining the CS department at UIUC as a Visiting Research Assistant Professor
