About

I am interested in Applied Machine Learning with a focus on Software Engineering and Distributed Systems. Currently, I am working on improving developer tools and infrastructure by leveraging Machine Learning. Previously, I have worked on intelligent conversational features in Office 365 (opens in new tab) and Dynamics 365 (opens in new tab). I had also shipped the Static analysis tools for drivers (opens in new tab) for Windows 10.

I have published 25+ papers and filed 15+ patents (opens in new tab) on topics related to Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Information Retrieval. I also serve on the editorial boards for IST (opens in new tab) and JSS (opens in new tab) journals and have served on PCs for several conferences such as ICSE SEIP ’21, MSR ’21, SANER ’19. In 2021, I was elevated to a Senior Member (opens in new tab) by IEEE. My research has been recognized with Best Paper awards and nominations at SoCC 2022, FMCAD 2020, ICSE SEIP 2021, PROMISE 2019.

For my Bachelor thesis, I worked with Karthikeyan Bhargavan (opens in new tab) and Sergio Maffeis (opens in new tab) at INRIA Rocquencourt, Paris (opens in new tab) and Imperial College London (opens in new tab) on formal verification of Web application security. The work was recognized by Facebook (opens in new tab), Mozilla and Google (opens in new tab) with multiple WhiteHat awards.
