Amiangshu Bosu

Amiangshu Bosu is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Wayne State University's College of Engineering. Previously, he served as a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Southern Illinois University Carbondale from 2016-2018. His academic journey includes completing his Ph.D. at the University of Alabama in 2015 under Professor Jeffrey Carver, followed by postdoctoral research with Dr. Danfeng Yao at Virginia Tech.

His educational background reflects a strong foundation in software engineering research, with his doctoral work focusing on empirical approaches to software development practices. This foundation has enabled his current research trajectory examining human aspects of software engineering.

Bosu's research program centers on empirical software engineering with particular emphasis on code review dynamics, toxicity detection in developer communications, and diversity issues in open source communities. His work bridges technical analysis with social science perspectives, investigating how communication patterns affect participation, especially regarding gender dynamics in OSS projects. Recent work increasingly incorporates natural language processing and machine learning techniques to build tools like ToxiCR for automated toxicity detection in code reviews.

Analysis of his publication record reveals a clear evolution toward examining social dynamics in software development, with growing emphasis on gender bias, toxicity, and diversity issues. His research consistently applies empirical methods to understand real-world developer experiences while developing practical tools to improve code review processes and community health.

His scientific recognition includes the prestigious NSF CAREER award (2024), NSF CRII award (2019), and Wayne State University's College of Engineering Research Excellence award (2025). He maintains senior membership status in both ACM and IEEE, reflecting his standing in the computing community.
