Hi, welcome! I am a Ph.D. student in the School of Computing at Queen's University, Canada, working under the supervision of Dr. Yuan Tian, Associate Professor, Queen's University and Dr. Steven H. H. Ding, Assistant Professor, McGill University. Prior to starting my Ph.D., I worked as a Machine Learning Engineer at ACI Limited in Bangladesh.
Research Area: Software Engineering, Software Security, LLM, MSR
My current research focuses on improving code change and vulnerability management in collaborative software development. The guiding research question behind this agenda is: How can we make collaborative development efficient without sacrificing reliability, and how can we help projects stay secure without slowing down their workflows?
To tackle this question, my work focuses on three main areas:
- Intelligent Code Change Management: I study how code changes are reviewed, validated, and integrated in pull–based development & identify bottlenecks and design tools to reduce integration time and improve throughput without degrading developer trust. [MSR 2023, MSR 2025, EMSE 2024, ASEW 2024]
- Proactive Vulnerability Management: I investigate vulnerability (mis)management within collaborative environment and design automated systems to mitigate them.
- LLMs for SE: I combine large-scale empirical analysis (Mining Software Repositories) with applied machine learning and Large Language Models (LLMs) to build and validate these intelligent systems.
Personal: Outside of research, I enjoy lifting at the gym 💪, exploring new coffee spots ☕, long drives 🚗 and spending time with friends and family. If you’d like to hear more about my work or are interested in collaborating, feel free to reach out!
