- I'll be serving as a PC member in ICSE'24 Technical Track.
- I'll be serving as a PC member in PROMISE 2023.
- Robert Healy, a professional Ph.D. student I am co-supervising at the University of Limerick, has had a paper titled "A Novel Technique to Assess Agile Systems for Stability" accepted at the XP 2023 conference.
- I am a staunch supporter of the Open Science Movement, and support making knowledge accessible to everyone. To that end, I am really passionate about the success of the Open Source movement.
- I also feel scholars around the world should do everything they can to devise ways of mitigating the effects of climate change as much as possible. COVID-19 has shown everyone what the collective effort of scientists around the world can achieve and I'm hopeful we can do something about climate change as well. To that end, I'm exploring how I myself can contribute to Green technologies.
- I'm a big fan of Vsauce, Veritasium, Kurzgesagt, SciShow, and similar informative YouTube channels.
- In terms of coding, I prefer using R (for statistical analysis), shell script (for running small errands and big jobs), and Python (everything else).
