ABOUT ME
ARDI MADADI
I’m a Computer Science PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy (MPI-SP) under the guidance of Marcel Böhme. Previously, I was a combined BS/MS student at the University of Washington Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. I have been fortunate to live in multiple countries and learn several languages (see map below). I worked on mutation testing at the PLSE lab as part of René Just's team. My focus is on software engineering, programming languages, and human-computer interaction. I also worked with Maya Çakmak as a teaching assistant for the undergraduate research sequence (CSE390R/CSE492R).

PUBLICATIONS
16.09.2024Equivalent Mutants in the Wild: Identifying and Efficiently Suppressing Equivalent Mutants for Java Programs
by Benjamin Kushigian, Samuel Kaufman, Ryan Featherman, Hannah Potter, Ardi Madadi, René Just. The presence of equivalent mutants has long been considered a major obstacle to the widespread adoption of mutation analysis and mutation testing in practice. This paper presents a study on the types and prevalence of equivalent mutants in real-world Java programs. Conference Page05.12.2022Contextualized Programming Language Documentation
