Research Experience
Remote Research Intern
Developing a benchmark framework to systematically evaluate AI agents' ability to detect, localize, and mitigate realistic failures in cloud-native environments. Working on low-level fault injection modules using eBPF to simulate OS and hardware-level failures, expanding Kubernetes misconfiguration libraries, and modernizing legacy microservice benchmarks. Built a CloudLab provisioner for push-button, multi-node deployment.
Research Collaborator
Designed and developed a novel agentic framework that autonomously translates natural language test specifications for web UIs into executable Playwright scripts. Implemented the core translation algorithm converting web agent interaction traces into structured test scripts, with evaluations demonstrating competitive performance against industry-standard tools. Co-first authored a paper under review at FSE 2026.
Undergraduate Researcher
Developed NuevAI, a semi-autonomous system for creating Pedagogical Conversational Agents. Designed and conducted comprehensive evaluations to assess system effectiveness, resulting in a second-authored paper accepted at the 16th Biannual CHItaly 2025.
