About me

My name is Kartik Bajaj. I am currently a Master's student in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia, under the supervision of Karthik Pattabiraman and Ali Mesbah. I completed my undergraduate studies and received my Bachelor of Engineering degree from VIT University.

My main areas of research include Web Applications, Software Testing, and Program Analysis. I am always interested in building tools that can assist the web developers during and after building the web application.
