I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Lakehead University. My research program, Human-Aligned Code Intelligence, asks how AI can help people build and maintain software in ways they can understand, verify, and trust.

I study how developers reason about code and use that understanding to build AI techniques for software maintenance and evolution: code generation aligned with developer intent, evidence-grounded reasoning, and AI agents that balance autonomy with human oversight. My work appears at venues such as ICSE, ICSME, SANER, MSR, ICPC, EMSE, TOSEM, and JSS, and has received an IEEE TCSE Distinguished Paper Award and an ISEC Best Paper Award.

I completed my Ph.D. and M.Sc. at the University of Saskatchewan with Dr. Chanchal K. Roy. Before that, I was a faculty member at Khulna University and a software engineer at Samsung R&D Institute Bangladesh. I care about equitable, inclusive research and teaching, and I am building a group where every student can do their best work.
