About Me

---

I'm currently looking for an internship starting Summer 2021. Please do not hesitate to contact me.

I am a 3rd year Ph.D. student in Computer Science, at Louisiana State University. I received a Masters Degree in Computer Science in 2018. I conduct research in the area of Software Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Anas Mahmoud at SEEL. In my research, I tackle subjects related to mobile app store analytics, with focus on user concerns in Sharing Economy apps (Uber, Lyft, etc.). I am also interested in mining software repositories, with emphasis on linguistic change in Open Source Software (OSS) and using OSS in SE education.

My research at LSU is funded by the NSF grants: CCF 1821525 and CNS 1951411
