Short bio
I started working at LIFIA in 1994, doing research in the area of hypermedia and object-oriented design. I graduated as a Licentiate in Computer Science from the University of La Plata (UNLP), Argentina in 1997. That year I moved to the US for graduate studies. In 2000 I received the degree of Master of Science in Computer Science, and in 2005, the degree of Ph.D. in Computer Science, both from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). My research topic was refactoring of C programs with preprocessor directives. After I received my Ph.D., I held a postdoctoral position at UIUC, working on the formal specification of refactoring. In June 2006 I received a Postdoctoral Fellowship for the Reintegration of Researchers in Argentina, from CONICET (National Bureau of Scientific and Technical Research) that I hold at LIFIA, UNLP.
Research interest
My main research interest is in the area of refactoring. Refactoring consists of code evolution. It allows improving the design of code, making it more readable, understandable and reusable, without affecting program behavior.
