Service

I help run the institutions through which software-engineering research and education happen.

Research leadership and community building

  • Vice Chair, USENIX Security (2027)
  • Co-Organizer, US-RSE workshop on research software supply-chain security (2026)
  • Organizer, Workshop on Using Generative AI as an Engineering Educator, ASEE (2026)
  • ICSE Student Mentoring Workshop (ICSE-SMeW) — Mentor (2023); Panelist and Mentor (2024); Co-Chair (2024-2025)

I also build research community locally, organizing peer mentoring and writing groups for junior faculty, a reading group, and visits by researchers whose work my group learns from.

Research community service

Peer review is part of the infrastructure of research. I regularly serve on program committees in software engineering and security, including ICSE, FSE, USENIX Security, ISSTA, ASE, and AAAI, as well as related venues.

My reviewing has been recognized with four reviewer awards:

  • ICSE Distinguished Reviewer Award · 2026
  • FSE Distinguished Reviewer Award · 2025
  • USENIX Security Distinguished Reviewer Award · 2025
  • ASE Distinguished PC Member Award · 2021

National and professional service

  • Panelist, US National Science Foundation (2023, 2025, 2026)
    recurring national research review; three panels
  • Reviewer, IEEE Computer Society — Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK), Version 4 (2024)
  • Column Co-Editor, IEEE Computer — Practicing AI

Institutional service at Purdue

At Purdue, I contribute primarily where software engineering intersects with program development, institutional assessment, and emerging changes in engineering practice.

Lead, B.S. Computer Engineering ABET five-year self-evaluation (2024-2025)
Led the continuous-improvement component of ECE’s successful ABET review: prepared the Criterion 4 evidence, developed the student-outcome tracking, authored roughly 45 pages of the report, and reviewed the approximately 800-page full report. This was a program-level assessment effort rather than ordinary committee service.

Member, committee to create the M.S. in Software Engineering (2024)
Helped design and launch Purdue’s M.S. in Software Engineering, developed jointly across Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science.

ECE representative, College of Engineering committee on guidelines for AI use (2026)
Represent ECE in College-level work developing guidance for the use of AI in engineering education.
