Rate My Professor Aldeida Aleti

Aldeida Aleti is a Professor in the Department of Software Systems and Cybersecurity within the Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University. She earned her Doctor of Philosophy in Software Engineering from Swinburne University of Technology in 2012, Master of Computer Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Tirana in 2008, and Bachelor Honours Degree in Computer Engineering from Yildiz Technical University in 2005. Aleti's research specializes in Automated Software Engineering, aiming to create machines that automate software development from requirements elicitation, design, code generation, testing, to code repair. This work involves advancing Artificial Intelligence and optimisation techniques, with applications in areas such as software architecture optimisation, search-based software engineering, and reliability evaluation.

Throughout her career, Aleti has received prestigious awards, including the Faculty of Information Technology Dean's Award for Excellence in Research by an Early Career Researcher in 2016, Best Paper Award at the International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems in 2015 for "Fitness Landscape Characterisation for Constrained Software Architecture Optimisation Problems," ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award in 2011 for "Architecture-based Reliability Evaluation under Uncertainty," and the Discovery Early Career Researcher Award in 2013. She was invited to the Heidelberg Laureate Forum in 2014. Her key publications include "Software Architecture Optimization Methods: A Systematic Literature Review" (IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, 2012, 435 citations), "ArcheOpterix: An Extendable Tool for Architecture Optimization of AADL Models" (2009, 242 citations), and "A Systematic Literature Review of Adaptive Parameter Control Methods for Evolutionary Algorithms" (ACM Computing Surveys, 2016, 229 citations). Aleti leads funded projects such as Software Engineering for Social Good PhD Scholarship (2025-2028), Intelligent Robotics for Pharmaceutical Formulation Development (2024-2027), and RAISE: Creating Responsible AI Software Engineering Capability (2023-2027). She edited a special issue on quality optimisation of software architectures for the Journal of Systems and Software in 2013, supervises PhD students, and has amassed over 3,300 citations on Google Scholar.
