Cristiano Politowski

Hi, my name is Cristiano Politowski.

I am an Assistant Professor at Ontario Tech University, within the Computer Science group in the Faculty of Science.

My research interests include Video Game Development, Software Testing, Artificial Intelligence for Software Engineering (AI4SE), Deep Reinforcement Learning, and Empirical Software Engineering.


Interested in this kind of work? The Code & Sorcery Lab works where game development, software engineering, and artificial intelligence meet — we build games, break them, and measure what happens. If you are a prospective graduate student, an undergraduate looking for a thesis project, or a researcher who would like to collaborate, send me an email and let’s work together.
