Computer Science
Gail Kaiser works on software engineering problems, seeking to improve software quality, reliability and security while simultaneously reducing software development and maintenance time and costs. Society increasingly depends on software for everything from entertainment, financial services, and healthcare to community infrastructure, emergency response, and national defense. Poor quality, unreliable, and insecure software can lead to economic losses, individual and societal hardships, and loss of human lives.
