I am a Ph.D. Candidate at the Computer Science Department, William & Mary, Co-advised by Dr. Adwait Nadkarni and Dr. Denys Poshyvanyk. I am currently researching Computer Security and Software Engineering as part of the SPL and SEMERU research groups.
Using software engineering techniques, I research to create systematic frameworks that can help fix/find security related issues in existing software or approaches.
