Eman Abdullah AlOmar

Assistant Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology.


Hi, I am Eman and welcome to my academic space!

I am an assistant professor at Stevens Institute of Technology, United States, working at the Department of Software Engineering.

I am interested in Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence Research. My main focus of research is Software Maintenance and Refactoring. I developed a refactoring documentation taxonomy to aid the developers in following best documentation practices to improve their software development experiences.

For details about my research, please check my publication list.

Research Interests

I am interested in the intersection of Software Engineering (SE) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

  • Software Engineering
  • Software Maintenance & Evolution
  • Empirical Software Engineering
  • Mining Software Repositories
  • Software Quality
  • Software Refactoring
  • Technical Debt
  • Artificial Intelligence

I always seek self-motivated, hard-working undergrad and grad students to join my team. If you are interested, please look on my Google Scholar to see if you are passionate about any of these topics, then contact me.
