About

I was previously a Research Associate in AOSD on the AMPLE (Aspect Model driven Product Line Engineering) project AMPLE. I have been involved with AOSD since 2001 and worked within the group of Prof. Awais Rashid at Lancaster University. My main interests are software product lines, feature modelling, software evolution and reuse, domain specific languages and code generation. Additionally, I am also interested in aspect mining and mobile systems. I was involved with the AOSD-Europe project AOSD-Europe investigating AOSD in database management and middleware systems.

Recently, I served on the program committee of the Aspects and Software Product Lines workshop at SPLC 2005, QUORS 2007 and also the AOPLE (Aspects Oriented Product Line Engineering) workshop at GPCE 2006 and GPCE 2007.
