Some life updates: I unfortunately had to deal with difficult US visa renewal issues over the last year. But happy to share that I did defend my PhD recently and am a Dr. now :) (happy committee in the second photo) 1/n

IT’S WILD THAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO SAVE SOMETHING AS A PDF IS TO LIE TO YOUR COMPUTER THAT YOU’RE ABOUT TO PRINT IT 😭😭😭
Super excited to share that I'll present our latest research at @ICSEconf 2026. Our work (co-authors @KylePosluns, @caovc, @lindorferin, and @proffnes) explores the use of language models for software testing in TLS certificate validation logic. 1/n
Last, a shoutout to @karpathy for the excellent writeup on "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of RNNs”. It was a really fascinating read during my undergrad (esp. the part on Linux source code). The idea for this project came into existence when I read about fuzzing in grad school.
I will forever cherish the PhD experience, and particularly of being advised by @proffnes (thank you!). Some words from the acknowledgements that I want to share with a broader audience 4/n
Last, happy to share that I will be working with @caovc next at @ruhrunibochum as a postdoctoral researcher. Excited to more years of learning how to be an academic!! Goodbye and thank you @Northeastern for a great program n/n

A realistic simulation of what it's like to be a grad student? I was only clicking buttons but the frequent rejection was triggering 🙃
It took me just under 7 years to graduate, can you do better? research.wmz.ninja/projects/…
