Summary
Collin Mcmillan is an Associate Professor at the University of Notre Dame specializing in Generative AI for Software Engineering, with a decade of experience bridging deep implementation work (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and applied systems research. He teaches Interactive Dialogue Systems, leads NSF-funded research including a CAREER Award, and directs projects spanning model development, experimental evaluation, and deployment. Trained with a PhD from William & Mary, Collin combines hands-on engineering with rigorous empirical methods to push generative models into practical software engineering workflows. His work is documented on Google Scholar and reflects continuous contributions from low-level model tuning to higher-level application design, often exploring the intersection of dialogue systems and developer tooling.
