About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Software Languages Lab of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. My research mainly revolves around defect detection for Infrastructure as Code, with a focus on the Ansible language. My research interests include software quality and code smells, pattern mining in source code, anomaly detection, library/API usages, and mining software repositories. I am working towards my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Coen De Roover.
In 2017, I obtained my BSc in Computer Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Brussel with a BSc thesis titled “Towards Template-Driven Source Code Transformations in C++”, available for download here. In 2019, I obtained my MSc in Applied Sciences and Engineering: Computer Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Brussel with a MSc thesis titled “Exploring Static Inter-Procedural API Misuse Detection Using Graph Inlining”, available for download here.
