About

Amirali outdoors at dusk with city lights in the background

I’m a computer science PhD candidate at Drexel University, where I’ve been since 2022. I work with Dr. Chatterjee on software security and AI.

I study how AI coding agents affect software security. My goal is to reduce the risks they introduce and use their capabilities to find and confirm vulnerabilities.

My earlier work studied trust and emotions in developer conversations.

I also teach computer science classes, assist with other courses, and mentor undergraduate researchers.
