Assistant Professor - DePaul University

Vahid Alizadeh

I'm an assistant professor in the College of Computing and Digital Media (CDM) at DePaul University (Chicago, USA) since 2020. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science in 2020 from University Of Michigan (USA). Also, I hold M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from University of Tehran (Iran) and Iran University of Science and Technology (Iran), respectively.

My research interests focus on Empirical Software Engineering, Software Quality, Software Refactoring / Maintenance, Intelligent / Search-based Software Engineering (AI4SE), and Software Engineering for AI-Enabled Systems (SE4AI).

I received 2020 Distinguished University of Michigan‑Dearborn Honors Scholar, 2018/2019 outstanding graduate research assistant award from the College of Engineering and Computer Science, and 2018 Best Invention Award of the University of Michigan among over 500 inventions from the three campuses.

I have actively published in Top Tier venues (TSE, ASE, etc.) and own one patent and multiple invention licences. All the refactoring technologies out of my research are licensed via the UM Tech transfer office to the industry, and currently deployed by some organizations which impact thousands of programmers and architects.
