Amir Mashmool
I am a Ph.D. researcher in Computer Science at the
University of Bremen,
Germany 
,
working under the supervision of Professor Rainer Koschke.
Previously, I received my B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the
University of Birjand,
Iran 
,
and my M.Sc. in Computer Science from the
University of Genova,
Italy 
.
My research focuses on software engineering, particularly program comprehension and its cognitive aspects, program slicing, code summarization, software visualization, and the use of AI in software engineering. I am especially interested in agentic software engineering and the verification of coding agents, as well as empirical and human aspects of software engineering.
My previous research explored artificial intelligence, including machine learning, deep learning, and applications of machine learning.
Research Collaboration
If you are a researcher working on program comprehension, software visualization, eye tracking, cognitive aspects of software engineering, empirical software engineering, or human aspects of software engineering and are interested in my work, feel free to reach out to discuss potential collaborations. I’m always open to working on exciting software engineering research projects and creating joint publications together. Let’s connect and create impactful research together. 📝
