Margaret-Anne Storey

Margaret-Anne Storey is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Victoria and holds the Canada Research Chair Tier I in Human and Social Aspects of Software Engineering. She is affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science and leads the Computer Human Interaction and Software Engineering Lab. Her research focuses on software engineering, human-computer interaction, information visualization, and collaborative work practices.

Storey earned her PhD from Simon Fraser University (SFU). Her work bridges socio-technical systems, developer experience (DevEx), and the ethical integration of AI in software engineering. She has pioneered studies on remote work productivity during the pandemic, developer satisfaction, and the human-centered design of tools.

Key research interests include understanding developer productivity through frameworks like SPACE (2021), analyzing code review strategies, and exploring the impact of generative AI on software engineering research. Her work often employs mixed-methods approaches and emphasizes empirical validation.

Storey has been recognized with the Canada Research Chair Tier I (2020–present). Her contributions span keynote addresses at major conferences (e.g., ICSE), framework development (e.g., DASP for security practices), and interdisciplinary collaborations with organizations like Microsoft.

Her research also addresses societal challenges, such as drug-checking technology and participatory culture in education. She advocates for human-centric AI in software engineering and critical questioning of AI’s societal impacts.
