Biography

My name is Zixuan (Steve) Feng, and I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Oregon State University, advised by Dr. Anita Sarma. My research focuses on software engineering. I collect data from OSS and analyze it using mixed research methods (e.g., statistical analysis, grounded theory, LLMs) to develop or validate theories about software engineering processes and outcomes, aiming to answer questions such as: How can we empower collaborative OSS teams and enhance sustainability?
