Speaker - Courtney Miller

Courtney Miller is a 4th year Ph.D. student in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University co-advised by Bogdan Vasilescu and Christian Kästner. Prior to joining CMU, she graduated from New College of Florida with her BA in Computer Science and Statistics. Her primary research interests are open source sustainability and supply chain security, empirical software engineering research, and developer productivity, coordination, and communication. She is an NSF GRFP Fellow and has two Distinguished Paper Awards at premier venues in software engineering. In her work, she uses a multi-dimensional empirical approach to understand and improve the socio-technical challenges faced by developers within software development and maintenance processes. More specifically, she is passionate about supporting developers and teams by designing mixed-methods research protocols combining human-centered qualitative techniques with large-scale data-driven statistical analysis, modeling, and visualization to develop insights and inform the design of custom solutions.
