I am a PhD student at University of Stuttgart, advised by Prof. Dr. Michael Pradel. I am interested in applying natural language inspired apporaches for code understanding tasks. Currently, I focus on neural models for generating code embeddings and their utiltiy in downstream tasks (e.g. code completion, summarization etc).
