I am a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Mississippi State University. I received my Ph.D. and Master's in Computer Science from Mississippi State University in 2015 and 2010, respectively. I completed B. Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering from National Institute of Technology, Durgapur, India, in 2007. I joined the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Mississippi State University in 2016. Prior to joining Mississippi State, I worked at Northwest Missouri State University for a year as a tenure-track Assistant Professor.

My research is in Software Engineering. Please visit my research page to know about my research interests.

My following project has been funded by an NSF CAREER Award.
