I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UNC Charlotte, advised by Prof. Marco Vieira. My research focuses on using Large Language Models (LLMs) for software security — with an emphasis on vulnerability detection, automated program repair, and dataset development for these tasks.

I am currently building high-quality, task-specific datasets that enable more effective training and evaluation of LLMs for software vulnerability detection and patch generation. My broader background spans network security, software security, and adversarial machine learning, and I apply LLMs to core software-engineering and cybersecurity problems such as static code analysis, patch synthesis, and secure code generation.

I love connecting with other tech enthusiasts and professionals. If you’re interested in collaboration, have a challenging question related to my research, or are working on similar security problems, feel free to reach out!
