Short Bio

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University. I received the New Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award for excellence in teaching and dedication to supporting students in their academic and professional growth.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the School of Computing at Queen’s University in 2020, under the supervision of Prof. James Cordy. My doctoral research focused on the synthesis of state machine models and received the 2019 Queen’s School of Computing PhD Research Achievement Award and the IEEE PhD Research Excellence Award. I also hold a bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering and a master’s degree in Information Technology. Following my Ph.D., I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Ottawa with Prof. Lionel Briand.

Research Interests

My research interests are primarily in software and AI-based system testing, applications of ML/AI in software engineering, and software security.
