About Me

I am a PhD student at UC Berkeley in the Programming Systems group and the Sky Lab advised by Koushik Sen. I broadly research techniques and design systems for expressive and reliable programming.

Research Interest

I am interested in Programming Languages and Software Engineering, specifically, in tools for program synthesis and analysis. Currently, my work is motivated by abstractions for programs that simplify reasoning about code by introducing either structure (graphs) or abstract semantics (language). This interest naturally touches language models (LLM) and ML4Code as means to learn and enrich these abstractions.

Previously, I worked at Microsoft Research (MSR) in the Programming Languages and Systems Group on developer and debugging tools for system reliability.
