About

Hello!

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate at the University of Virginia (UVA). I am a member of the UVA LESS lab, supervised by Dr. Matthew Dwyer. My research interests lie at the intersection of Software Engineering and Machine Learning. I leverage program analysis and AI/ML techniques to enhance the cost-effectiveness of various software engineering tasks, including testing, debugging, and program repair. For more details, please see my CV.
