Dr. Squire joined Elon's faculty in 2003 after completing her Ph.D. in Computer Science at Nova Southeastern University. Dr. Squire has also worked at several technology startups in Research Triangle Park, NC and in south Florida. At Elon, Dr. Squire teaches courses in web development, database development, introductory software development, data science, and technology and society. Dr. Squire's research is in the area of free and open source software, specifically the collection, curation, and federation of large amounts of data about how free and open source software engineering projects are developed.

Dr. Squire's main research interest is in the area of large database systems, especially data collection, aggregation, mining, and reporting. Currently, she collects, aggregates, stores, cleans, and mines data about free, libre, and open source software (FLOSS) development. She co-founded and leads a project called FLOSSmole, a team of software developers who write programs to collect and analyze this FLOSS data, and then freely provide the results back to the FLOSS research community.The results are readily applicable to research in a variety of fields, including software engineering and the social sciences.

FLOSSmole is a large collection of data about free, libre and open source software (FLOSS) systems. Dr. Squire is the co-founder of the project, and leader of the FLOSSmole development team.
