Margaret-Anne Storey
Professor and Canada Research Chair
Dr. Margaret-Anne Storey is a Professor of Computer Science and a Co-Director of the Matrix Institute for Applied Data Science at the University of Victoria, and was Director of the Software Engineering Program from 2015 to 2018. She holds a Canada Research Chair in Human and Social Aspects of Software Engineering and is a member of the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists. She held the Lise Meitner Guest Professorship at Lund University in Sweden from 2016 to 2018, a professorship that promotes gender diversity in science.
Together with her students and collaborators, Dr. Storey seeks to understand how software tools, communication media, data visualizations, and social theories can be leveraged to improve how software engineers and knowledge workers explore, understand, analyze and share complex information and knowledge. She has published widely on these topics and collaborates extensively with high-tech companies and non-profit organizations to ensure real-world applicability of her research contributions and tools. Over the past several years, she has collaborated with product teams and researchers at Microsoft to understand developer satisfaction and developer productivity, with the goal of improving their engineering systems and processes.
