Dr. Omar Badreddin

Dr. Badreddin (aka Badreldin) is an Associate Professor and Associate Director at Northeastern University. He is the director of the Super Twin Research Laboratory; AI-Enabled Software and Hardware Continuous Re-Design. His research is focused on predicting software and systems evolution with the goal of enhancing upfront designs and enabling effective continuous re-engineering. This research creates Super Digital Twins (Digital Twins augmented with the power of predictive analytics), which opens up new discovery pathways in resilient and adaptable architectures. This research enables engineers to proactively address vulnerabilities even before they materialize.

This research entails investigations of the fundamentals of software design and the development of novel approaches and advanced software analytical tools. Dr. Badreddin contributes to the UML standard and key open-source projects, including Eclipse, Umple, ModelMine, and Susereum. His research explores opportunities to reduce software and data complexities, and the complexity of the tools used for software development and data management.
