I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Luxembourg , conducting research at the intersection of software engineering and software security. My work focuses on combining traditional software analysis techniques, such as static analysis, with newer AI methods, including LLMs, to make Android app analysis more practical, contextual, and useful for security tasks.
I am part of the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) and the Trustworthy Software Engineering (TruX) Research Group , under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jacques Klein and Prof. Dr. Tegawendé F. Bissyandé .
