I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student at George Mason University. My research investigates how human computer interaction would be effective in designing programming tool and how to blend machine and human intelligence. Exploring ways to describe programming skills more explicitly through programming strategies, which describe a specific sequence of steps a developer can follow to successfully finish a programming task.



Projects

Programming Strategies

Explicit programming strategies capture a specific sequence ofactions for accomplishing a programming task.
