I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas. My research focuses on secure software testing, debugging, and repair, with an emphasis on the reliability and security of software systems, particularly LLM-based and agentic software. I develop cost-aware techniques to discover, reproduce, and repair software bugs and intermittent failures in traditional and AI-enabled systems. My work has been published at leading venues, including ICSE, OOPSLA, ASE, and ICST.
I obtained my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, advised by August Shi. I completed research internships at Google and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
