🔬 Research Overview

My research lies at the intersection of AI for Software Engineering, Computer Vision, and Human-Computer Interaction. I am particularly interested in how large language models can be orchestrated as multi-agent systems to solve complex software engineering tasks — from automated code generation and debugging to performance optimization.

My current research thrusts include:

  • Multi-Agent LLM Orchestration: Designing and evaluating collaborative multi-agent architectures that leverage frontier LLMs for software engineering tasks such as code generation, debugging, and refinement (see PerfOrch).
  • Software Performance Engineering: Developing methodologies for performance testing in cloud environments, including serverless platforms and edge/fog computing systems.
  • AI-Driven Software Testing: Harnessing LLMs and AI techniques for automated testing of complex software systems, including VR applications and cloud-native architectures.
  • Computer Vision: Applied work in medical image segmentation, brain connectivity analysis, and 3D vision.
