I’m a Ph.D. student in Software Engineering at the University of California, Irvine, advised by Prof. Iftekhar Ahmed in the STAIRS lab. My research focuses on multi-agent systems and large language model (LLM) agents, advancing how they reason and collaborate to solve complex multi-step tasks. I’m particularly interested in how agent collaboration can improve reasoning, code quality, and reliability, with applications in automated software development and testing.
