Subject

I'm a PhD Student at the Empirical Software Engineering Group. My research interests include the modularization and incrementalization of static program analyses, specifically call graph construction and data flow analysis. My goal is to make program anlyses viable for very-large-scale scenarios and finally analyze entire ecosystems repositories like Maven Central, so developers can learn about software quality and potential security vulnerabilities faster.

To that end, i developed and maintain tools to interact with ecosystem repositories and analyze their contents, including the DGMF framework for building dependency graphs across different repositories, and MARIN for writing efficient analyses for Maven Central. I am also a maintainer of the OPAL framework for optimized, parallel static analysis of JVM programs.
