PhD in CSE, University of Notre Dame
Hi! I am a scientist working in the domain of Applied ML/AI, human factors, and software engineering. My expertise is context-engineering for domain-specific AI models and modelling human attention. Currently I’m on an intentional career break, looking for new challenges in industry.
Untill January 2026, I led the AI4SE lab at LSU as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Computer Science. I worked on challenges such as AI for software testing, security, and repair as well as Human-AI interaction. Before that, I earned my PhD from the University of Notre dame advised by Prof. Collin McMillan in the Automatic Program Comprehension Lab (APCL) working on AI for source code summarization and modelling/mimicking programmer attention and behavior.
If you want to build something cool and want to discuss an opportunity in industry, drop me an email!
