I am a Research Scientist at Singapore Management University (SMU), working with Prof. David Lo. I co-lead TITAN, a joint programme between SMU and GovTech Singapore on intelligent vulnerability discovery, whose first phase uncovered 100+ real-world vulnerabilities. Before joining SMU, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Twente, developing AI-driven techniques for secure code generation with Accenture Labs.

My research develops AI-driven approaches to software security, spanning LLM-based vulnerability detection and repair, secure code generation, and the evaluation of these tools on realistic data. My work has appeared in leading software engineering and AI venues, including ICSE, TSE, TOSEM, EMSE, and ACL, and my Ph.D. work on self-admitted technical debt is among the most cited in the area. My work has received a SAC Highlight Award (ACL 2026) and a Best Paper Award (SEAA 2020).
