About

I serve as a Research Scientist at the University of Luxembourg, in the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) specializing in Software Security and Software Engineering. I contribute to the Trustworthy Software Engineering (TruX) Research Group research group's ongoing efforts in this field. My research focuses on automating software security through program analysis, with a particular interest in improving the comprehensiveness and soundness of analysis techniques to ensure secure and reliable software systems. Additionally, I foster efforts to automating practical, industry-relevant tasks using cutting-edge technologies. Prior to my current role, I pursued my Ph.D. at the University of Luxembourg under the expert guidance of Prof. Dr. Jacques Klein and Prof. Dr. Tegawendé F. Bissyandé, as well as a Postdoc at CISPA working with Prof. Dr. Andreas Zeller. During my doctoral studies, I visited and collaborated with Prof. Dr. Michael D. Ernst and Prof. Dr. René Just, both members of the PLSE research group at the University of Washington, USA
