I have successfully completed my Ph.D. (Identification of Software Failures in Complex Systems Using Low-Level Execution Data) in Carnegie Mellon University's Computer Science Department. My Ph.D. advisor is Claire Le Goues in SquaresLab, and I work with her on the applications of low-level analysis in software engineering. I also collaborate with Philip Koopman and roboticists at NREC on robotics applications for software quality techniques. Broadly, my research interests include software quality assurance, binary analysis, and software for autonomous and robotics systems. More specifically, I've focused on applying dynamic binary instrumentation to software quality assurance; using low-level software engineering techniques in the domains of robotics and autonomous vehicles; assessing factors that affect behavior in robotics and autonomous systems; robotics simulation; and new approaches to decompilation.
