Research Interests
Behavioral Programming (BP) is a paradigm for developing systems centered on a natural and incremental specification of behaviors. My research utilizes this paradigm for various tasks, such as software development, explainable AI, automatic code generation using genetic programming, prompt programming, software testing, and more.
