I am Jasmine, a Ph.D candidate in Software Engineering working under the supervision of Emad Shihab in the DAS Lab at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada. I am also part of CREATE SE4AI, a training program funded by NSERC that aims to fill the major shortage in highly qualified personnel (HQP) that can develop, deploy and service AI-based software systems and equally provide the HQP with a solid background on ethical and social understanding of AI.

During my undergraduate studies, I quickly learned that Software Engineering comes with a fair amount of frustration, which motivated me to start doing research; a way to find solutions to alleviate problems (and frustrations) related to software performance and maintenance. Thus, I have a strong interest in the software supply chain, software engineering for AI, and machine learning.

I am currently working as an AI research intern at the Ministère de la cybersécurity et du numérique du Québec!

Outside of research, I like spending my time walking my dog, reading (big Harry Potter fan), and playing video games (big Tetris fan).
