About
I am an ERCIM Research Fellow at Simula Research Laboratory, supervised by Professor Leon Moonen.
My research interests lie on the intersection of machine learning and software engineering, non-functional optimization, and fairness. In particular, I focus on the use of large language models trained on source code to detect and repair software vulnerabilities.
