Biography

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Zurich Empirical Software engineering Team (Prof. Alberto Bacchelli) since Sep, 2022. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Software Engineering Group (Prof. Timo Kehrer). I have done my PhD in the Software composition group at University of Bern under the supervision of Prof. Oscar Nierstrasz and Dr. Sebastiano Panichella. I work on mainly supporting developers in comprehending source code via comments and their maintenance and evolution aspect. My research area lie in the general area of Software Engineering (SE), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Program Comprehension, Object-Oriented Programming, and Machine learning applied to SE. I have co-reviewed papers of various international conference (e.g., ICSME, SANER, SATTOSE) and journal (TOSEM, IST).
