Dr. Hamid Abdul Basit did his PhD from National University of Singapore in 2006 on the analysis and semi-automated detection of similarity patterns in software.His did his bachelors from Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology (GIKI) in 2000. He worked as a post-doctoral researcher in the Software Engineering Lab at NUS in 2006-2007 on the extraction of software design from software similarities. He developed a tool called Clone Miner for recovering higher-level similarity patterns in software using state-of-the-art string algorithms and data mining techniques. The results were presented at ICSE and ESEC\FSE - two of the top software engineering conferences.


Research Interests


His research interests include software engineering in general and specifically software reuse, software maintenance, re-engineering, reverse engineering, design recovery and detection of software similarities.
