Biography
Luiz Felipe Fronchetti Dias, Ph.D. Student in Computer Science at Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia, USA.
Primarily working on the intersection between Software Engineering (SE) and Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), but also with
experience on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). I currently investigate alternatives to improve the way humans write code for collaborative robots, including
studies on mixed reality and block-based programming languages.
Although I love to work with robots, my research career started with open source communities. For more than six years, I investigated topics such
as the integration of newcomers in open source projects, the differences between employees and volunteers in open source communities and the benefits of social coding platforms like GitHub.
