about me

I am an Assistant Professor (Lecturer, in the UK system) at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, where I am a member of the Institute for Computing Systems Architecture (ICSA). Previously, I completed my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Southern California, advised by Professor Nenad Medvidović in the Software Architecture Research Group. During my PhD, my research was generously supported by the Google PhD Fellowship.

My research interests lie primarily in software engineering. Specifically, I aim to help developers with their security tasks by learning from past security issues and their fixes. To that end, I make use of program analysis and machine learning to generate actionable security-related insights.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, hiking, learning new languages (currently working on Catalan), and spending time with my dog.

I am fortunate to work with a great team of PhD students and researchers.

I am always seeking bright, motivated PhD students to work with me on the topics above. Please get in touch if you are interested.
