I am a Ph.D. student in Software Engineering in Concordia University, supervised by Dr. Jinqiu Yang.

My research lies at the intersection of software engineering and AI. I currently focus on the safety and security of LLM-based agentic systems and autonomous driving systems. Previously, I conducted research on automated program repair and software testing.
