David Lo

David Lo is the OUB Chair Professor of Computer Science, Director of the Information Systems and Technology Cluster, and Director of the Center for Research in Intelligent Software Engineering (RISE) at School of Computing and Information Systems (SCIS), Singapore Management University. Championing the area of AI for Software Engineering (AI4SE) since the mid-2000s, he has demonstrated how AI — encompassing data mining, machine learning, information retrieval, natural language processing, and search-based algorithms — can transform software engineering data into actionable insights and automation. Through empirical studies, he has also identified practitioners' pain points, characterized the limitations of AI4SE solutions, and explored practitioners' acceptance thresholds for AI-powered tools. As of December 2024, his contributions have led to over 20 awards, including two Test-of-Time awards and eleven ACM SIGSOFT/IEEE TCSE Distinguished Paper awards, and his work has garnered over 37,000 citations with a H-index of 100. An ACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow, ASE Fellow, and National Research Foundation Investigator (Senior Fellow), Lo has also served as a PC Co-Chair for ASE'20, FSE'24, and ICSE'25
