Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSumaya Almanee is a Software Engineer 2 at Microsoft and a fifth-year PhD candidate in Software Engineering at UC Irvine with a decade of industry and research experience focused on empirical software engineering, security, and testing. She blends production engineering at Microsoft with academic rigor—having developed tools like LibRARIAN for identifying native library versions and scenoRITA for automated test generation in autonomous vehicles. Her research has produced large-scale longitudinal datasets (e.g., a 7-year native library repository across thousands of app versions) and the first comprehensive empirical study of AV bugs, informing practical defect-detection and mitigation strategies. At Microsoft Research’s RiSE group she translated cloud-incident analysis into data-driven recommendations to improve detection and mitigation tools for Azure. A seasoned mentor and educator, she has supported hundreds of graduate and undergraduate students and led diversity efforts through WiCyS. Based in Los Angeles, she combines deep measurement-driven research with hands-on engineering to make software systems safer and more testable.
