Preetha Chatterjee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Drexel University . She leads the SOftware Engineering and Analytics Research (SOAR) Lab at Drexel University. Her research interests are primarily in software engineering, with the goal of improving software engineers’ tools and environments through different techniques such as data mining, text analysis, and machine learning. She is especially interested in mining software repositories at a large scale and extending data analytics solutions to transform the plethora of information available in software artifacts into actionable nuggets of knowledge and tools, which is useful for both software engineers and researchers. Through her research, she intends to enable advances in areas including building/enhancing recommender systems for developers, information retrieval tasks from unstructured developer communications, and understanding social and human aspects in software engineering.
Her research has been published in top-tier conferences, such as, the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE), the International Conference on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE), International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE), Mining Software Repositories (MSR), and journals such as the Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM), Journal of Systems and Software (JSS), among others. [List of publications]
She teaches courses primarily in software analytics, and software engineering at the undergraduate and graduate levels. [List of courses]
She serves in multiple leadership positions in the software engineering research community. She serves on the program committees of various conferences including ICSE, ESEC/FSE, and MSR. She is also on the editorial board of JSS. [List of roles]
She received her M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Delaware, advised by Dr. Lori Pollock . Prior to that, she worked in the industry as a Software Engineer for 5.5 years.
