About Me
I am currently serving as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the SAIL lab at Queen’s University, Canada. I am privileged to be one of the six selected candidates who have been awarded the esteemed “Vice-Principal Research (VPR) Postdoctoral Fund” at Queen’s University. I completed my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Alberta, Canada, in June 2023. As a researcher in Software Engineering, my research focus lies in enhancing software processes and machine-learning methods through techniques such as mining software repositories, search-based software engineering, static analysis, and energy optimization.
