My name is Anas Mahmoud, known to most people as Nash, I am an associate professor of Computer Science and Engineering at Louisiana State University. I direct the Software Engineering and Evolution Lab (SEEL) at LSU. I received my PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from Mississippi State University. I also received my Master's degree from the same department.

My research interests are in the field of empirical software engineering, with emphasis on requirements engineering, static code analysis, and human-computer interaction. My work at SEEL is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Security Agency (NSA), Google (IgniteCS), the Louisiana Board of Regents, and LSU.
