I am currently a Research Associate in the Centre for Research on Engineering Software Technologies in the School of Computer Science at The University of Adelaide, Australia, where I also obtained my PhD. My research interests are but not limited to Software Security Analytics and Mining Software Repositories. My current work focuses on developing Machine Learning and Deep Learning techniques for detecting, analysing, and mitigating software vulnerabilities, aiming to proactively prevent cyber-attacks and ensure a secure digital economy.

My research aims to bring to design, develop, and evaluate smart solutions based on state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence technologies such as machine learning and deep learning to automate and distill recommendations on secure software engineering.
Specifically, my PhD thesis advances the field of software security by providing knowledge and automation support for software vulnerability assessment using data-driven approaches. Software vulnerability assessment provides important and multifaceted information to prevent and mitigate dangerous cyber-attacks in the wild. The key contributions include a systematisation of knowledge, along with a suite of novel data-driven techniques and practical recommendations for researchers and practitioners in the area. The thesis results help improve the understanding and inform the practice of assessing ever-increasing vulnerabilities in real-world software systems. This in turn enables more thorough and timely fixing prioritisation and planning of these critical security issues.
