Francisco is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Informatics of the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. He also holds an M.S. in Information and Computer Sciences from the same department.
Francisco works with Professor James A. Jones. His research focuses in the area of software testing, software analysis (run-time and compile-time), and debugging.
During his M.S., Francisco worked with Professor André van der Hoek, whose research focuses on understanding and advancing the role of design, coordination, and education in software.
Francisco is interested in supporting the process of development and maintenance of software by finding new kinds of information that can help software developers in their daily tasks. In order to pursue this goal, he applies Software Analysis techniques and Mining of Software Repositories. More broadly, his research interests also include Configuration Management and Computer Supported Collaborative Work. Department of Informatics
