Mary Jean Harrold
College of Computing
Georgia Institute of Technology

Mary Jean Harrold received the BS and MA degrees in mathematics from Marshall University and the MS and PhD degrees in computer science from the University of Pittsburgh. She is currently ADVANCE Professor of Computing and a Professor in the College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology. Her research interests include the development of efficient techniques and tools that will automate, or partially automate, development, testing, and maintenance tasks. Her research to date has involved program-analysis-based software engineering, with an emphasis on regression testing, analysis and testing of imperative and object-oriented software, and development of software tools. Her recent research has focused on the investigation of analysis and testing techniques for deployed software.

She is a recipient of the National Science Foundation's National Young Investigator Award. Dr. Harrold serves on the editorial board of ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems and ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology. She served as program chair for the ACM International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (2000), program co-chair of the 23rd International Conference on Software Engineering (2001), and general chair for ACM SIGSOFT Foundations of Software Engineering (2008). She is on the CRA Board, on the leadership team of the National Center for Women and Information Technology, and the director of the Georgia Tech Hub for the Center. She is a senior member of the IEEE Computer Society and a Fellow of the ACM.
