[>img[sushil bajracharya|img/sushil_bajracharya.jpg]]\nI am a ~PhD candidate in the Department of Informatics in the [[Bren School ICS|http://www.ics.uci.edu]] at [[UCI|http://www.uci.edu]]. I work with my advisor [[Crista Lopes|http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes]] on profoundly interesting problems in designing languages, tools and software, and, the implications they have on software engineering at large. I have [[Erdos number|http://www.oakland.edu/enp/]] 4 ([[Erdos|http://www.cs.elte.hu/erdos/]] -> [[Specker|http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~til/loco2000.html]] -> [[Lieberherr|http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/lieber/]] -> [[Lopes|http://www.ics.uci.edu/~lopes]] -> me).\n\nI am originally from [[Nepal|http://www.nepalhomepage.com/]], a small country in south Asia. I spent all my life in [[Kathmandu|http://www.kathmandu.gov.np/]] before coming to the US. I did my undergraduate studies in computer engineering at [[Kathmandu University|http://www.ku.edu.np/]].\n\nIn [[past|Journey]] I have worked as a teacher, software developer and a hobbyist [[designer|./scratchpad/albums.htm]] of music album covers. Now I am a full time student engrossed in [[research|Research]]. \n\nI am a sucker for good [[food|http://www.flickr.com/photos/shoeseal/tags/food/]] and I like taking [[pictures|http://www.flickr.com/photos/shoeseal/sets/72157603642915704/]]. I also fiddle around with my musical instruments that range from the less known [[Sarangi|http://sushilbajra.blogspot.com/2008/01/sarangi.html]] to Korg Pandora ~PX4 with a cheap Fender Showmaster. I occasionally blog about other [[mundane things|http://sushilbajra.blogspot.com]] and frequently take a plunge in the [[ARC pool|http://www.campusrec.uci.edu/index.asp]].\n

[[About Me]]\nContact\n[[Curriculum Vitae]]

When i think i had enough of what i usually have, I tend to chill out with these...\n\n''Design...art''\n\nI am neither a trained nor a professional artist. But I enjoy the effort it takes to make things look better. I play with images and colors and sometimes come out with things that people have liked. Some of my works are the images below...\n\n[img[img/bmbF_lr_small.jpg]][img[img/poster0_small.jpg]][img[img/mi20_small.jpg]][img[img/mi10_small.jpg]][img[img/rnlf0_small.jpg]]\n\nYou can view a portfolio of these album covers here: [[Album Covers|./scratchpad/albums.htm]]\n\n''Music''\n\nOne of the things I feel unfortunate about is only being able to enjoy music but not being able to feel the pleasure of having it played or coming out from myself... for now the way to comfort myself is to say "You need the audience too"\n\nI used to exclusively listen to metal, instrumental rock and 90's alternatives, in the nineties of course. I ventured into blues mostly thick tonal sounds of SRV, liked it a lot, partly because of my taste in hendrix I guess. I started opening up my mind to try out new things and now I listen to almost anything that suits my mood. These days I am exploring Jazz, more of the hard bops. And, yes I still enjoy those awesome power riffs...\n\n''Instruments''\n\nI made few attempts to learn instruments but never could be persistent and hard working enough to acquire the skill to play them. However, I succeeded to learn to make few sounds out of them. I can make pretty decent sound (or noise for most of the others who are around) from [[Sarangi|http://sushilbajra.blogspot.com/2008/01/sarangi.html]], an indigenous folk instrument from the hills of Nepal. A crude recording is: '[[simsimay pani ma|files/simsim.mp3]]' (click to listen).\n\nI left my original Sarangi back home. It was cheap and was produced crude, its knobs got loose and bridge eaten up by the first string. Second one I brought to US got eaten by termites. I am looking for a playable one right now. \n{{contactTable{\n|[img[old sarangi|img/s_oldSar.jpg]] |To the left is my old gadget, which by now is a museum piece. To the right are the pictures of those that are commercial commodities sold as wooden craft rather than an instrument. They do not come with the authentic strings (made of goat intestine!!!) none does mine. |[>img[old sarangi|img/s_othersSar1.jpg]] |[img[old sarangi|img/s_oSar2.jpg]]|\n|[img[old sarangi|img/s_kumusicfestival.jpg]] |I tried to put my hands on Bansuri (Bamboo Flute) and guitar (total failure!) before I digressed to Sarangi. Those remain in my memory as my effortless endeavours. But I found Sarangi more intuitive and personal to learn and play with. I even succeeded in sharing the stage with college-stars, back in my university during those golden ages of undergraduate study.|>|\n}}} My latest obsession however has been with guitar. I'll have to see how much can I keep up with my commitment to learn this time.

One of the enjoyable aspects of the kind of [[research|Research]] I do is that I get to keep on building software and tools. Here is the list of major projects I am working on or have worked in the past. More information on these are available from the links to their respective sites. (Links are embedded in the project names)\n\n''[[Sourcerer|http://sourcerer.ics.uci.edu:8080]]'': Sourcerer is an infrastructure for large scale analysis of open source code. It consists of components that deal with wide range of features: customizable code crawling, fine-grained parsing, code search and repository service, and program slicing. The first application built on top of this infrastructure is a code search engine that enables search forms that go beyond conventional keyword-based searches. It also incorporates a basic notion of code-rank as one of its ranking measures.\n\n''[[CodeGenie|http://sourcerer.ics.uci.edu:8080/codegenie]]'': ~CodeGenie is an implementation of a Test-driven Code Search (TDCS) tool. TDCS is an intriguing idea of code reuse in large scale repositories. In TDCS a developer writes test cases before they implement a feature; similar to Test-driven development (TDD). However, unlike TDD, in TDCS, the test cases are used in formulating queries to search for the unimplemented features in code repositories. Thus a TDCS system provides a developer with the following facilities: \n* automatic formulation of queries \n* presentation and selection of search results \n* automated 'slicing' of found code results \n* weaving/unweaving of slices in a developer's workspace. \nCodegenie provides all these facilities relying on Sourcerer as the underlying code search infrastructure.\n\n''__Memento__'': I worked on Memento while I interned at Microsoft Research during summer 2007. Details are in the [[Internship Projects]] section.\n\n''__XE__'' : XE is a programming environment based on a relational model of program. It supports queries over the program elements that can result in multiple views of the existing code or transformations from one view to another. \n\n''__[[Analysis of Modularity with DSM and NOV|http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/11687061_1]]__'': In this project I explored the methodology of using Dependency Structure Matrix and Net Options Value for the analysis of modularity in software design particularly in the context of Aspect-oriented modularization.\n* [[Tools for NOV analysis|http://mondego.calit2.uci.edu/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/DSM]]\n\nBeside these major projects I also have some ongoing [[Toy Projects]]. I have not been able to spend more than few weeks since I made them. Nevertheless they are fun to play with.

''In short'', my research activities focus on the following:\n<<<\nprogramming environments, program analysis, programming languages, software design, modularity, multidimensional separation of concerns, aspects, concerns\n<<<\nI work on couple of interesting [[projects|Projects]] that revolve around these research themes. Some of the findings from these projects have been [[published|Publications]]. \n\n''At Large..''\n\nMy research effort is always driven by the quest to understand and enhance the process and practice of software development. My current work falls into two categories: \n* Large Scale Infrastructure for Analysis of Source Code.\n* Interactive Transformations and Multiple Code Views in a Programming Environment.\nIn particular, I am exploring these finer areas:\n* Applications of large-scale program analysis in various domains such as: search-driven software engineering tools, Internet-scale source code search engines, empirical studies based on structural properties of program, software visualization and reverse engineering.\n* Query-based interactions and transformations of programs.\n* Relational model for programs.\nUpdates on most of my research activities can be found in our research group's ([[the mondego group|http://mondego.calit2.uci.edu]]) [[wiki|http://mondego.calit2.uci.edu/xwiki/bin/view/Main/]]. I collaborate closely with other members of the mondego group in my research projects. My contributions have resulted in some noteworthy recognition:\n* [[CodeGenie|http://sourcerer.ics.uci.edu/codegenie]] awarded [[first place|http://mondego.calit2.uci.edu/xwiki/bin/view/Main/CodGeniePlacedFirstInSRC%2COOPSLA07]] at [[OOPSLA Student Research Competition 2007|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=program/studentresearch/]]\n* NSF Science of Design [[grant|http://mondego.calit2.uci.edu/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ScienceOfDesign]] for validation of Aspect-oriented hypothesis using [[Sourcerer|http://sourcerer.ics.uci.edu]]\n* Best paper in the Mining Software Repositories [[Challenge Track at MSR 2007|http://msr.uwaterloo.ca/msr2007/programme.html]]\n* Work on [[DSM/NOV|http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/11687061_1]] featured as a [[Research Highlight|http://www.ics.uci.edu/informatics/research/research_highlight_view.php?id=24]] in the Department of Informatics\nSome personal musings about my research and technical interests can be found in my [[bliki|http://mondego.calit2.uci.edu/skb]].

{{contactTable{\n|''Name Explorer'' |||| [img[Name Explorer|img/ne.png]] |\n|While working on ~CodeGenie we realized that developers using code search engines often need assistance in coming up with good keywords or names for the features they want to find. Name Explorer is a tool designed to help with this problem. It takes a query term and builds a tag cloud like result of other related terms that might help in further refining the query results.<br/><br/>Please [[download Name Explorer|files/ne.zip]] if you want to try it out. ||||~|\n||||||\n|''~DeMatrix'' |||| [img[DeMatrix|img/dm.png]] |\n|~DeMatrix is a tool that can display the [[DSMs|http://www.dsmweb.org]] (Dependency Structure Matrix) of all projects we have analyzed in Sourcerer. Currently it depicts project dependencies at package granularity, and it uses data from our older repository in Sourcerer. <br/><br/> You can check out ~DeMatrix on the [[web|http://mine7.ics.uci.edu/repo2/dsm.html]] or [[download|files/dm.zip]] (recommended) and run it on your machine. ||||~|\n}}}\nThere are many useful improvements that can be made on these initial prototypes. I intend to work more on them as I get time.
