I am a Ph.D. Candidate at Department of Computer Science at William & Mary. I am working as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Software Evolution and Analysis (SEA) Lab, advised by Dr. Oscar Chaparro. My dissertation is titled Studying and Automating Issue Resolution for Software Quality.

My research lies at the intersection of AI for Software Engineering and Software Maintenance and Evolution. I design, build, and evaluate techniques that leverage large language models (LLMs), multimodal learning, and empirical methods to automate software quality tasks—particularly bug report management, issue resolution, and developer tooling. My work bridges automated techniques and real-world practice through human studies, developer interviews, and large-scale dataset construction.

Previously, I was a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology (DUET), Gazipur, Bangladesh (2018–2022), and in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), Bangladesh (2018). I graduated with a B.Sc. degree in Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) from Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET), Rajshahi, Bangladesh.
