Name:Manish Motwani

Bio:

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the College of Computing - School of Computer Science, Georgia Institute of Technology. I work with Dr. Alex Orso, and my current research focuses on extending automated program repair for high-performance computing platforms.

I am also a courtesy faculty member at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), Oregon State University, where I will start working as a tenure-track assistant professor from Fall 2023.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Manning College of Information & Computer Sciences, University of Massachusetts Amherst, advised by Dr. Yuriy Brun. My dissertation work aims to improve the quality of automatic program repair techniques to make them more useful for practitioners.

Before pursuing my Ph.D., I worked as researcher in requirements engineering, advised by Dr. Smita Ghaisas at the Tata Research Development and Design Centre (TRDDC) located in Pune, India.

My broad research interests include improving software engineers’ productivity by automating software engineering practices. My research involves analyzing large software repositories to learn interesting phenomena and use that knowledge to design novel automation techniques, such as requirements elicitation, testing, and program repair
