Introduction
Hi, My name is Jacqueline and I'm a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at NUI Maynooth. I received a B.Sc. (Hons) degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. I then worked as a teaching and research assistant at NUI Maynooth and began studying for a Ph.D. with Dr. James Power in 2005. My research interests include object-oriented software metrics, the Unified Modeling Language (UML), model driven engineering (MDE) and software testing and am a member of the Principles of Programming (POP) research group at NUI Maynooth. I spent the academic year 2006/2007 as a visiting student at the Cambridge Programming Research Group at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge. Originally, I am from Ardee, Co. Louth, Ireland.
Research
Ph.D. Thesis - Using Model Driven Engineering to Reliably Automate the Measurement of Object-Oriented Systems
I am working with model driven engineering (MDE) and meta-modelling to define and implement software metrics.

Other Interests
I enjoy reading, movies and watching tv. I also enjoy travelling and have visited France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Scotland, Portugal, Germany and Florida. I spent a few months in 2004 travelling around Australia. Here are some photos.
