About me

Originally, I am from Sofia, Bulgaria. My research interests include Program Analysis, Algorithms and Machine Learning. I obtained my M.Sc. and B.Sc. from Sofia University, respectively in 2009 and 2006, and my PhD degree from ETH Zurich in 2016. I co-founded DeepCode, which was acquired by Snyk, now a multi-billion dollar company. I was the Director of AI at Snyk before leaving Snyk and joining INSAIT in December 2023.
