Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaffi Khatchadourian is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Hunter College with 15 years of experience bridging academic research and industrial software engineering. His PhD-centered work focuses on automated software evolution—particularly refactoring and source-code recommendation systems—to help developers safely and efficiently evolve large codebases. He has practical industry experience from Apple and contributions to heavyweight static-analysis infrastructure like the WALA project, where he improved core analysis caching and call-graph mechanisms. Raffi teaches and supervises doctoral students at CUNY’s PhD program while continuing research in program analysis for object- and aspect-oriented languages, software architecture, and recommendation systems. Colleagues describe him as results-driven and team-oriented, blending rigorous program-analysis theory with hands-on tool-building. He often seeks pragmatic ways to make sophisticated analysis techniques easily usable by everyday developers.
