About Me

Hello everyone! I'm a PhD student at the Université de Montréal working on enhancing software supply chain security, supervised by Prof. Benoit Baudry. In a broader sense, I am interested in research in the areas of software security, software testing, and software reliability.

Misc


  • Table Tennis

I love sports in general. Through the years, from time to time, I have been following Cricket, Tennis, and Football games. However, the only sport I actually played was Table Tennis. I started playing Table Tennis when I was 6 years old. There were many times that I fell out of love for the game, but my parents' enthusiasm to see me play kept me going. In case you are interested, here is a boring list of my Table Tennis achievements.

  • Other hobbies

Books, music, and movies have always been a big influence on me, shaping who I am in so many ways. My taste for books and movies swings wildly from cheerful, rainbow-filled stories to dark, unsettling stuff. But, though I have tried, I just can't get into sitcoms or action/adventure/sci-fi superhero movies. When it comes to music, I'm no expert, and yet I have a specific taste. I like melodies with unpredictable variations, lyrics with emotional honesty, and vocals with minimum autotune. It is always hard to list out favorites, but just to give a glimpse of my current tastes, here’s a list of some quotes that resonate with me—mostly taken from books.

Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow. Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead. Walk beside me… just be my friend. - Albert Camus

If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me. - Job:9:20 (Found in the book 'The Silent Patient' - Alex Michaelides)

So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me for I, too, am fluent in silence. - R. Arnold

I myself am best when least in company. - Duke Orsino (Twelfth Night - William Shakespeare)

We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom. - Pierre Bezukhov (War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy)

Often we pass beside happiness without seeing it, without looking at it, or even if we have seen and looked at it, without recognizing it. - Sinbad the sailor (The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas)

Between the lines of every story there is another story, and that is one that is never heard and can only be guessed at by the people who are good at guessing. - Frances Hodgson Burnett

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” (The Fellowship of the Ring - J. R. R. Tolkien)
