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.
