Chetan Arora

Dr. Chetan Arora is a Senior Lecturer in Software Engineering and Director of Education for Software Systems and Cybersecurity at Monash University's Faculty of Information Technology in Australia. With a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Luxembourg and a Master's degree from Technische Universität Kaiserslautern in Germany, he brings both academic rigor and extensive industry experience to his research and teaching.

• Current Position: Senior Lecturer in Software Engineering at Monash University
• Leadership Role: Director of Education for Software Systems and Cybersecurity
• Previous Positions: Academic Director at Deakin University, Innovation Programs at SES Satellites
• Education: PhD (University of Luxembourg), MSc (TU Kaiserslautern), B.Tech (Thapar University)

Dr. Arora's research focuses on the intersection of Software Engineering, Requirements Engineering, and Applied Artificial Intelligence. His work investigates how Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning can improve software reliability and trustworthiness. He has published extensively in top-tier venues including ICSE, FSE, RE, and ASE, with recent publications examining the application of large language models in software engineering practices. His research also extends to satellite communications (particularly dynamic resource allocation) and Internet of Things applications.

His work demonstrates clear trends toward integrating AI technologies with traditional software engineering practices, particularly in requirements analysis, quality assurance, and testing. He has secured significant research funding from Australian Defence organizations for projects related to satellite communications and AI-based decision making. His recent publications show growing emphasis on ethical considerations of AI in software development and human-centered aspects of software engineering.
