Biography

My research interests are in Software Engineering and Programming Languages, with a focus on improving software reliability through program analysis and systematic testing. Software bugs are expensive and inevitable as software is mostly written by humans or automatically synthesized via ML. My research focuses at developing practical methods to prevent, detect, and fix bugs in code. As part of my research, I develop tools to automate software testing and debugging activities.
