Bio

Abhik Roychoudhury is Provost's Chair Professor of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS), where he leads a research team on Trustworthy and Secure Software (TSS). He received his PhD in Computer Science from the Stony Brook University in 2000, and has been a faculty member at NUS School of Computing since 2001. Abhik's group at NUS has focused on symbolic program analysis and software security with applications in various domains such as agentic AI for code. These works have been honored with various awards including an International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) Most Influential Paper Award (Test-of-time award) for symbolic analysis based program repair, IEEE New Directions Award 2022, jointly with Cristian Cadar, for contributions to symbolic execution. The work on program repair has been carried forward in the form of AI agents for code, which led the acquisition of his spinoff AutoCodeRover by SonarSource.

Abhik was the inaugural recipient of the NUS Outstanding Graduate Mentor Award. Doctoral students graduated from his research team have taken up faculty positions in many top academic institutions, and they have gone on to receive many prestigious early career awards (including ACM-W Rising Star Award given to only one female faculty member in Computing). Abhik has served the software engineering research community in various capacities including as chair of the major conferences (ICSE and FSE), as well as chair of the FSE steering committee. He is the current Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology (TOSEM), and a member of the editorial board of Communications of the ACM. Abhik is a Fellow of the ACM, recognized for contributions to automated program repair and fuzz testing.
