Hi there! I am Oscar, a Software Engineering Ph.D. Candidate in the [Department of Computer Science](http://cs.utdallas.edu/){:target="_blank"} at [The University of Texas at Dallas](http://www.utdallas.edu/){:target="_blank"}. My advisor is Dr. [<NAME>](http://www.utdallas.edu/~amarcus/){:target="_blank"}, and I am member of the [SEERS](https://seers.utdallas.edu){:target="_blank"} (SoftwarE Evolution ReSearch) Group.

My research interests include software maintenance and evolution, program comprehension, code refactoring, code quality, and developer's productivity.
