I received my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Toronto and worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. I spent almost 10 years in industry, working for IBM Research, where I was a research staff member and a research group manager. Recently, I obtained a Master of Legal Studies degree from the University of Chicago Law School.

My research interests are in quality, security, and reliability of software and AI systems. Together with my research group, I develop automated solutions that support expert decision-making in the domains of software engineering, education, and law. Our recent work has been recognized by numerous academic and industrial Awards. More details about our current and past research projects can be found on the ReSeSS Research Lab and Publications pages.
