Career

I’d a PhD in Computer Science at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. My PhD was supervised by Benoit Baudry and Martin Monperrus. I graduated in 2023.¹

Cool Fact: KTH is ranked 74 globally according to the QS Ranking.

My PhD was about software debloating,² here’s my thesis, and you can watch my public defense.

I enjoy doing knowledge-seeking software engineering research. For example, to extract useful information from software repositories.³ Particularly, I’m interested in measuring the impact and pervasiveness of software bloat across large-scale software ecosystems.

I’m keen to perform research on software technology which:

Provide actionable insights to researchers and practitioners about how modern software is currently being developed and maintained.
Produce practical tools for developers to improve software quality.
Disrupt the status quo of software engineering latest practices.

I’m open to collaborate with researchers and give advice to students in these areas. If you are interested in working with me, please have a look at my list of research topics and email me using the form below.
