Education and career

edit

Blincoe received her Ph.D. in computer science from Drexel University, Philadelphia. Her doctoral research contributed to the understanding of software engineering processes and developer collaboration.[1] Blincoe then joined the University of Auckland as a faculty member. Her work at the university includes teaching software engineering and conducting research in the same field. She was a principal investigator for a Marsden fund (early career) in 2020.[6]

Research and contributions

edit

Blincoe's research interests encompass several areas within software engineering.[7] She investigates methods to improve software project management, aiming to enhance team productivity and project outcomes. Her work also explores factors influencing developer productivity, including work environments, tools, and processes. Additionally, she studies collaboration and communication within software development teams, identifying ways to improve these interactions to boost overall team performance. Some of her selected publications include:

  • Blincoe, K., Valetto, G., & Goggins, S. (2012). Proximity: A Measure to Quantify the Need for Developers’ Coordination. In Proceedings of the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE).[8]
  • Blincoe, K., Sheoran, J., Goggins, S., Petakovic, E., & Damian, D. (2015). Understanding the Popular Users: Following, Affiliation Influence and Leadership on GitHub. Information and Software Technology, 70, 30–39.[9]
  • Blincoe, K., Valetto, G., & Damian, D. (2014). Do all task dependencies require coordination? The role of task properties in identifying critical coordination needs in software projects. In Proceedings of the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE).[10]

Awards and recognitions

edit

Blincoe was awarded the Rutherford Discovery Fellowship in 2022.[11] She has received several best paper awards at conferences for her contributions to software engineering research.[12] Blincoe also collaborates with industry partners to apply her research findings to real-world software development challenges.[13][14]
