PhD student Stacey Koornneef has been awarded a $35,000 grant from the Digital Research Alliance of Canada as part of their equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility (EDIA) pilot program.
SEER Lab’s Jeremy Bradbury is starting a new collaboration with João Lourenço and Andre Wemans from the Universidade Nova de Lisboa on using AI to support automatic heuristic-based testing of concurrent software. 🇨🇦 🇵🇹
A big thank you to the Ontario Tech University Summer Camps for partnering with the Software Engineering & Education Research Lab (SEER Lab) and supporting our research study on the benefits of tangible and hybrid (tangible + digital) educational games in learning computational thinking with K-5 students.
In October we’ll be presenting “PIE: A Tool for Visualizing the Life Cycle of Design Patterns in Open Source Software Projects” at the 12th IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT 2024). The paper is co-authored by Kashif J. Hussain, Christopher Collins and Jeremy Bradbury.
SEER Lab’s Jeremy Bradbury and Riddhi More were downtown Toronto this week attending the 8th Annual Toronto Machine Learning Summit. The event included many attendees from machine learning start ups as well as established companies doing AI. As researchers, attending industry-focused events like TMLS is always exciting because there is an opportunity to learn about the problems companies are facing and how our research might be part of the solution.
Prof. Jeremy Bradbury, leader of the Software Engineering & Education Research Lab, has been promoted to Professor at Ontario Tech University effective July 1, 2024. Prof. Bradbury joined Ontario Tech in July 2007 after completing his PhD in Computing at Queen’s University in Kingston, ON, Canada.
