I am an incoming Software Engineer at Google. I recently defended my Ph.D. dissertation in the Computer Science Department at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I was co-advised by Prof. Tianyin Xu and Prof. Darko Marinov. My research is in Software Engineering and System Reliability, focusing on configuration testing, regression testing, and upgrade testing. I have also contributed to various open-source projects by identifying and reporting bugs (see my open-source contributions).
