I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering department at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT KGP), India. My research interest lies in the applications of Large Language Models (LLMs) on Software Engineering and Software Security problems. I completed my PhD from the University of Stuttgart, Germany on analyzing code corpora to improve the correctness and reliability of programs advised by Prof. Michael Pradel. During my PhD, I spent two wonderful summers interning at Microsoft Research Cambridge and Bangalore respectively.
