Abdulsalam Kalaji

Dr AbdulSalam Kalaji holds an MRes in Information Technology and a PhD in Software Engineering from Brunel University, London, UK. He then served as a lecturer and later an as associate professor at several universities abroad before joining the University of Strathclyde.

Dr Kalaji’s research focuses on search-based software engineering (SBSE), which involves reformulating software engineering problems as search problems that can be optimised using search techniques. His primary work has been in search-based software testing (SBST), developing techniques that automatically generate test suites from model specifications or program code.

Testing is a significant concern in the software engineering domain, as it can delay software development and increase time to market. Therefore, advances in this domain benefit industry by expediting test generation and application through automation.

Dr Kalaji’s recent interests in SBSE include its application to evolve autonomous systems, a field that is receiving growing attention in both academia and industry, as well as the integration of machine learning techniques to enhance optimisation performance. His recent teaching position has also drawn his attention to research in computer science education.
