I am a Tenure Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at University of Nebraska at Omaha. I obtained my Ph.D. (2024) and MS (2022) in Computer Science at Wayne State University (WSU) . At WSU, I worked in Software Engineering Analytics Lab (SEAL) under the supervision of Dr. Amiangshu Bosu. My research interest lies in Human Factors Software Engineering, Empirical Software Engineering, Natural Language Processing, and Human-Computer Interaction. My research works have been published in Top Tier SE venues, including FSE, TOSEM, ASE, and ESEM.

[Prospective Graduate Students] I am looking for master students to join my research group in Fall 2025. If you are interested in working on research in Software Engineering, Human Aspects of SE, and NLP, please send an email to me with your CV, and unofficial transcript. You can find here for the UNO graduate admission policy and here for the MS in Computer Science.
