PhD Candidate, Department of Computer Science, University of California, Riverside
About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Riverside (UCR), fortunate to be advised by Prof. Michalis Faloutsos. My research is at the intersection of software engineering, cybersecurity, and data science. I aim to make open-source communities safer and more transparent by designing tools that analyze developer behavior and code evolution.
Before starting my Ph.D., I received my B.Sc. in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).
Research Interests: Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, Data Science.
