Dr Vahid Garousi

School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

My research expertise in software engineering include: software testing, empirical software engineering, search-based software engineering, model-driven engineering, and evidence-based software engineering. Furthermore, I take a strong interest in conducting industry-academia collaborative research and agile methodologies.

In the last 15 years, I have collaborated with 40+ software companies as a PI (principal investigator), mostly in Canada and Turkey. My students and I have helped our industrial partners develop and test software-intensive systems in an effective and efficient manner. We have published many papers as outcomes of those projects.
