Dr. Eric Braude<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Faculty Spotlight.<\/em><\/p>\n

Meet Dr. Eric Braude, Associate Professor of Computer Science and Coordinator of the Master of Science in Software Development program. Dr. Braude holds a PhD from Columbia University, MS from University of Miami, MS from University of Illinois and a BSc from University of Natal.<\/p>\n

What is your area of expertise?<\/strong>
\nMachine learning and software engineering.<\/p>\n

Tell us about your work\u2014can you share any current research or recent publications?<\/strong>
\n A paper, “Generalizing Morley’s and Other Theorems with Automated Realization,” by my student (and recent MSCS graduate) Satbek Abdyldayev and myself, appeared in <\/span>April\u2019s issue<\/a> of the<\/span> Journal of Automated Reasoning<\/em>. Morley\u2019s Theorem is a statement about triangle trisectors that came to my attention years ago via the writing of computer scientist Edsgar Dijkstra, and in this 23-page paper we describe the theory as well as our GEOPAR program, which checks the validity of various proposed theorems in plane geometry.<\/span><\/p>\n

MSSD graduate Jason Van Schooneveld and I recently completed work on \u201cIncremental UML for Agile Development with PREXEL,\u201d which was introduced at the International Conference on Software Engineering last month in Gothenburg, Sweden.<\/span>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/span>How does your work in apply in practice? What is its application?<\/strong>
\n The most common form of software development, agile, does not readily accommodate the use of design tools. That\u2019s the issue PREXEL addresses, and master\u2019s graduates Chih-Chieh Liang and Nitish Gaddam are now working with me on the next generation of PREXEL.<\/span>
\n <\/span>
\n The work that student Andy O\u2019Connell and I are doing applies machine learning to recovery from failures in the Internet of Things\u2014which is now quite pervasive.<\/span>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/span>What course(s) do you teach at MET?<\/strong>
\n Most recently, <\/span>Machine Learning (MET CS 767)<\/a>, <\/span>Advanced Programming Techniques (MET CS 622)<\/a>, and <\/span>Analysis of Algorithms (MET CS 566)<\/a>.<\/span>
\n <\/span>
\n <\/span>From your previous work in the industry, what \u201creal-life\u201d exercises do you bring to class? And how does that inform your classroom?<\/strong>
\n Before coming to BU, I worked in applying AI to complex systems and was also involved in software reliability. The resulting perspectives influence my research and teaching. In advanced classes, I emphasize the development of individual projects, so students have the opportunity to apply concepts as they learn them. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
