She is interested in many aspects of software design (including software architecture), which include capturing and representing generic and project-specific software design knowledge and design intent, supporting efficient and effective retrieval and usage of this knowledge to assist software designers and end-users in producing good software design that factors in modularity, modifiability, reusability, extensibility, evolvability and adaptability to cater for increasingly complex software systems. Her ultimate goals are to support Do-It-Yourself (or end-user software development) as well as automated software design, development and evolution, and apprenticeship in software design. Her latest research also includes the design and development of ethical software, software engineering aspects of robotics (humanoids), automating SE tasks with foundation models (such as LLM, large vision model), knowledge graph in software engineering, and GraphRAG.
