Hi, I’m Huascar (pronounced wäs-kär), a Senior Computer Scientist at SRI’s Computer Science Laboratory. Before joining SRI, I was a member of the Software Introspection Lab at UC Santa Cruz, working with Jim Whitehead.

I received my PhD in Computer Science from UC Santa Cruz in December 2015, and my MS in Software Engineering from San Jose State University in 2006. My research interests are broad. They lie at the intersection of AI and software engineering, spanning from multi-AI collaboration optimization and LLM chemistry estimation (LLM matchmaking) for complex, compound AI tasks; the use of AI for coding automation, source code analysis, and social-cyber security; to the application of automated software engineering principles to the development and deployment of AI systems. I study how emerging solutions in this space can improve developer productivity, deepen our understanding of complex software systems, and enable the creation of more reliable and secure software.

I was the PI on DARPA Social Cyber and have successfully contributed to several DARPA-funded efforts, including DARPA ARCOS and DARPA MUSE. As a DARPA Social Cyber PI, I developed data-driven software introspection technology to protect open-source project software supply chains from social and technical attacks.

My Erdös number is 3: P. Schweitzer, B.D. McKay, and P. Erdös.

Current projects

Previous Projects: DARPA ARCOS, DARPA SocialCyber, DARPA SoSITE, DARPA MUSE, DARPA CSFV (order of projects is arbitrary).

Cheers,
