Autobiography                                                                                                       

I'm Alireza Khalilian, a PhD candidate of Software Engineering (SE) at the University of Isfahan (UI) under the supervision of Prof. Ahmad Baraani-Dastjerdi, started in 2013. I have received my MSc and BSc degrees, both in SE, in 2009 and 2003 respectively. I'm also a faculty member of computer engineering at the Islamic Azad University.

I'm skilled in programming with C-based languages and database design. I have worked as developer, database designer, Oracle developer, and also as an IT consultant in the past 11 years. In addition, I have more than eight years of experience in teaching undergraduate computer engineering courses namely Compiler Construction, Programming Languages, Design and Implementation, Database Design, Information Security, Data Mining, and Data Structures and Algorithms. 

I have published more than 35 papers in prestigious international conferences and journals including Tests and Proofs (TAP), Science of Computer Programming (SCP), and Applied Intelligence (APIN). Besides, I have written two books for undergraduate computer software engineering courses in Persian, namely as Programming Languages Design and Implementation (4^th Ed.) and Principles of Database Design (2^nd Ed.). I believe that these sets of (ongoing) publications merit closer attention.

I'm the recipient of several honors and awards such as distinguished teacher, researcher, and the best paper award, all in 2014.

My research topics are automated techniques of debugging in general and program repair and regression testing in particular. Also. my research interests include software security, model-driven software engineering, programming languages, compiler construction, and data mining.
