🧪 Mentored Undergraduate Research Program

Since 2024, I have developed a structured 12-week program for undergraduates to engage in research:

  • Weeks 1–6: Literature exploration and analysis of 5–10 relevant papers
  • Weeks 7–12: Structured breakdown using a custom research framework including identifying research questions, variables, tools, and experimental designs
  • Weekly discussions are held to deepen understanding and develop research skills.

I continue to seek opportunities to extend this work and welcome collaborations that focus on practical, scalable, and impactful research in software engineering.
