2023 – 2024 Research Highlights
Overview
Dr. Hadi Hemmati is an associate professor at the electrical engineering and computer science department, at York University. Previously he was an associate professor at the electrical and software engineering department at the University of Calgary, AB, Canada. In the past, he was also an assistant professor at the University of Manitoba, and a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Waterloo, and Queen’s university. He received his PhD from the University of Oslo, Norway. His main research interests are automated software engineering (with a focus on software testing, debugging, and repair), and trustworthy AI (with a focus on robustness and explainability). His research has a strong focus on pragmatic software/ML solutions for large-scale systems and empirically investigating them in practice. He has been a PI on multiple industry research projects in different domains such as IT, aviation, insurance, urban development, fintech, and beyond.
