Joy Krishan Das (জয়)
I’m Joy, a 2nd year MSc student in Computer Science at the University of Saskatchewan, where I’ve been fortunate to be advised by Prof. Dr. Chanchal Roy in the Software Research Lab.
Currently, my research in software engineering focuses on examining how software developers interact with AI-based conversational systems to resolve real-world software issues. I’m particularly interested in addressing fundamental challenges in this evolving landscape of AI-assisted sofware engineering.
Have any questions? I’m always happy to meet new people—please just reach out at joy.das [at] usask [dot] ca!
