PhD in CSE, University of Notre Dame

Hi! I am a an Applied AI scientist that works on cool research problems that may improve human lives using the profound technological advancements in AI. Currently I’m on an intentional career break, looking for new challenges in industry.

During my time as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Louisiana State University, I lead the AI4SE Lab at LSU. I worked on challenges such as AI-programmer interaction and AI for software testing, security, and repair. 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 behavior.

If you want to build something cool and want to discuss an opportunity in industry, labs, or startups, feel free to drop me an email through the link below.
