Hello

I'm JC (Jaechang Nam, 남재창 in Korean, and 南載昌 in Chinese) and wokring as an assistant professor at the CSEE department, Handong Global University, Korea. I'm operating Intelligent Software Engineering Lab (ISEL) with excellent Handong students.

Research

My research interests include:

Software Quality Prediction
Transfer Learning in Software Engineering
Mining Software Repository
Empirical Software Engineering
Software Engineering in eHealth

Recent Publication

Three papers (two short papers and one paper for the UG track) have been accepted for Korea Coference on Software Engineering (KCSE2019). These are the first achievements of ISEL by my undergraduate students.
The extended version of an ICSE2016 paper, entitled "Deep Semantic Feature Learning for Software Defect Prediction," has been accepted for IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (TSE).
