Biography
Dr. Michael Godfrey is a Professor in the Cheriton School of Computer Science, University of Waterloo, University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON, Canada.
Research Interest
Professor Godfrey's research interests span several areas of empirical software engineering including software evolution, mining software repositories and software analytics, code clone analysis, software architecture recovery and modeling, and reverse engineering. To better understand how and why software systems evolve over time, Professor Godfrey and his students have been developing theories, techniques, and tools for studying software change. This has included the study of emergent properties of software systems, analysis of code duplication (cloning), software artifact provenance, software architecture recovery and modelling, and tools for modeling and understanding changing systems.
