About me
I am a PhD student at the University of Alberta. I work with Dr. Sarah Nadi at Software Maintenance and Reuse lab. My research focuses on identifying misuses of data-centric libraries. Specifically, I develop methods to detect and correct these misuses, aiming to improve software reliability and maintainability. Currently, I am exploring the misuse detection capabilities of foundational models in data-centric contexts.
