About me

My name is Luciano Marchezan de Paula. I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Automated Software Engineering Research Group at the University of York. My research interests include AI for Software Engineering, Software Modernization, Model-Driven Software Engineering, Collaborative Modeling, and Empirical Software Engineering.

My Ph.D. research (concluded in 2023) explored the maintenance of consistency across engineering artifacts in collaborative environments as well as the recording and maintenance of the change history of languages and their instances.

From my research findings, I was able to publish scientific papers in different Software Engineering conferences (ICSE, SANER, MODELS, ICSME, ESEM, EASE, SPLC, among others) and Journals (TOSEM, JSS, EMSE, SoSym, SPE, IET Software, among others).
