Ask the Best Questions You Can Ask: A Discussion with Prem Devanbu

Summary

Listen to this interview of Prem Devanbu, Distinguished Research Professor in Computer Science, University of California, Davis. We talk about using cross-disciplinary pollination to interrogate ideas and also oneself.

Prem Devanbu : "Science is a social process. You put some idea out, and other people try to figure out if it makes sense or if you've made some mistake with it, or whether you've asked the right question and gotten the right answer. And then you go from there."

Here's the paper by Prem and coauthors which won the 2022 award Most Influential Paper at the International Conference on Software Engineering.
