Scholarship Perspective

After working in the IT industry for several years, I discovered that my true passions lie in teaching, learning, and solving scientific problems. These interests are better suited to academia than to industry. As a result, I decided to leave my position as a senior network engineer and pursue graduate studies. Through research, I can fulfill a crucial aspect of my career mission, that is: Doing research that enables the development of software that enhances the quality of lives for our society.

During my graduate education, I had the privilege of working with two renowned professors who supervised my research. Dr. Indrakshi Ray, a distinguished Cybersecurity scholar, oversaw my master's project, while Dr. Robert B. France , a leading researcher in Software Engineering, guided my doctoral research. I am grateful for the inspiration and guidance provided by these exceptional educators, who have played a significant role in shaping my scholarship and professional pursuits.
