Qualifications: Ph.D University of Montreal Canada Computer & Management Information system
Dr. Marouane Kessentini is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and the School of Information at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. Prior to joining Michigan in 2013, He received his PhD from University of Montreal in Canada in 2012. He is a recipient of the 2018 President of Tunisia Distinguished Research Award. He is a recent recipient of the university distinguished teaching, digital education and research awards. His invention on interactive intelligent refactoring was selected as one of the top 8 UM featured inventions by the University of Michigan Technology Transfer office. He is the founder of the Intelligent Software Engineering (ISE Lab) research lab. He received multi-million grants from both industry and federal agencies and published over 120 papers in top software engineering, services computing and computational intelligence journals and conferences. Dr. Kessentini has several collaborations with various industrial companies on the use computational search, data analytics machine learning and evolutionary algorithms to address several software engineering and services computing problems such as software quality, software migration, software evolution, performance prediction, services quality, services composition, services refactoring, etc. He is the co-founder of the International Workshop on Refactoring (IWoR) and recognized by many research surveys as a leading researcher in the areas of search-based software engineering and software refactoring. He was also the co-chair of the SBSE track at the GECCO2014 and GECCO2015 conferences and he was the general chair of the 8th Search Based Software Engineering Symposium (SSBSE2016). He is the founder of the North American Symposium on Search Based Software Engineering and an invited speaker at the 2016 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence (Vancouver, Canada) and SSBSE2018. He is associate editor in 7 journals and served as PC member of over 100 international conferences in software engineering and computational intelligence. He will be the PC chair of MODELS2019 and general chair of ASE2021.
