Costain Nachuma, a doctoral student in computer science, presented Comprendia: AI-Augmented Code Comprehension at the 42nd IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution in Benevento, Italy, this past September.

Comprendia is an Eclipse plugin, a modular piece of code that extends functionality, that draws a Java project’s dependency graph and uses that same visualization to highlight code clones, duplicated or near-duplicated code, and ground the LLM explanation, tying the AI’s answer to the real project.

Costain’s work was supported by the Software Engineering and Cybersecurity Research Team led by Minhaz Zibran, professor of computer science and associate dean of student success in the College of Science and Engineering.

To learn more about Comprendia and Nachuma’s research presentation, check out his paper co-authored with Zibran at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.10290.
