PhD Student, Computer Science
Georgia Institute of Technology

Hi! I’m a PhD student in Computer Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I’m fortunate to be advised by Professor Alessandro Orso (now Dean of the College of Engineering at UGA). My research focuses on software engineering, specifically AI for software testing. Currently, I’m exploring test generation from abstract natural language.

I also have industry experience at IBM Research, where I interned in the AI4Code department in 2025 and 2026 alongside the talented Rangeet Pan, Saurabh Sinha, and Raju Pavuluri. Always happy to chat!
