About Me

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Louisiana State University, working as a Graduate Research Assistant under Dr. Umar Farooq. My work sits at the intersection of software reliability, program analysis, and AI for Software Engineering (AI4SE) — with a focus on advancing the safety and reliability of mobile, automotive, and safety-critical systems through empirical analysis and automated detection tooling. I design benchmarks and build static analysis frameworks to evaluate and improve AI-powered developer tools, with publications at AST 2026 and manuscripts under review.

Research Interests

• Software Reliability: Building tools and techniques to detect, understand, and prevent bugs in complex software systems
• Program Analysis: Developing static analysis techniques for Android and JVM programs (FlowDroid, Soot, SootUp)
• AI for Software Engineering (AI4SE): Designing benchmarks and automated pipelines to evaluate frontier LLMs on software engineering tasks
