Profile

Dr. Anu is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Montclair State University's School of Computing (SoC). He is also the Discipline Head and Graduate Program Coordinator for the Information Technology (IT) and the Cybersecurity programs. Dr. Anu joined Montclair State in Fall 2018. Before joining Montclair State, he received a PhD in Software Engineering from North Dakota State University. Dr. Anu's research interests include software engineering, human error in software engineering, empirical software engineering, computer science education (CSED), and human factors in cybersecurity. Dr. Anu's recent work is funded by NSF and NJDOE and focuses on supporting K-12 teachers in developing a standards-aligned, high-quality K-12 computer science program. The primary goal of this research effort is to increase the number of K-12 educators who are well-prepared to teach high-quality, standards-based computer science courses to K-12 students.

Research Projects

CS for Everyone Everywhere (CSEE) Program

The Montclair State University CS for Everyone Everywhere (CSEE) Program supports participating Local Educational Agency (LEA) representatives in developing a standards-aligned, high-quality K-12 computer science program. This project is funded by NJ DOE (NJDOE Standards 22E00178).

Using Maching Learning to Automate the Procedures Involved in Requirements Inspections

Requirements inspections involve multiple inspectors independently reviewing a requirements document and reporting faults in the document. But, inspectors report both faults and non-faults (false-positives). We are using machine learning based approaches to validate requirements reviews. Our approach uses supervised machine learning algorithms to isolate faults from false-positives. An important feature that we use for training our classifiers is labeling our review data with the fault-types (ambiguity, inconsistent, incorrect requirements, omission, etc.).
