Curriculum Vitae

 

Biography:  
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I obtained my PhD from University of California at Irvine, under supervision of Dr. Sam Malek. I have been awarded the Google PhD Fellowship in Programing Technology and Software Engineering for my work on advancing energy testing of Android and have been recognized as a Rising Star in EECS. I am recipient of NSF CAREER Award and my research has been supported by generous grants from NSF, IBM research, and C3.ai.

Research:
My research interests lie in the field of programming languages and software engineering, with a focus on improving software quality, reliability, and maintenance thorough neuro-symbolic approaches. I am the director of Intelligent CAT Lab working with a team of awesome PhD, undergrad, and high school students. Please refer to my Google Scholar and Intelligent CAT Lab Google Scholar page for the most recent list of publications and pre-prints.

I am always looking for highly motivated and self-driven PhD students, who are interested to apply AI and mathematical optimization techniques to solve real-world software engineering problems. Please read my papers before reaching out to ensure your background and interests match my research.
