Andrew Begel

Andrew Begel is known internationally for his pioneering research and leadership on cooperative and human aspects of software engineering, in which he combines empirical studies of professional software engineers with organizational behavior. His work has had significant impact on development processes used in practice. He has created many tools to help software engineers communicate and collaborate across teams. He was one of the first to study emotions in software engineering, now an active research field with 100+ researchers. With biometric sensors (eye tracking, fMRI), he helped software engineers be more productive in code comprehension, pair programming, and code review. To build a more inclusive technology workplace, he ran the first study of autistic software developers to identify their unique strengths and challenges. He created the Autism at Work Research Workshop series, bringing together dozens of interdisciplinary researchers, practitioners, and autism self-advocates to help autistic engineers find and keep jobs. As a member of the Microsoft-wide AI Ethics Board, he helped Microsoft’s efforts to disseminate best practices for responsible AI engineering.

Dr. Begel has been deeply involved in the academic and professional communities, organizing and serving on program committees for top software engineering conferences co-sponsored by ACM and IEEE, He ran FSE and ICSE’s ACM Student Research Competitions, ICSME’s Doctoral Symposium, and taught two courses in software engineering at University of Washington’s iSchool and two online coding camps for autistic youth. He regularly builds community by organizing workshops on emerging topics. He served as an associate editor for Transactions on Software Engineering. He has published 40+ papers in top conferences and journals, which have been cited over 5,100 times with an h-index of 32. One of his papers received a Lasting Impact Award [ICER22], a Most Influential Paper Award (10 Year) [ICER19], three have received Best Paper awards [SIGCSE21, ICSE19, ASSETS15], and two received Honorable Mentions [CSCW19, CHI17]. He holds 3 patents.
