๐ŸŽ‰ Excited to share!

I have been awarded a Marie Skล‚odowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship, a prestigious European funding programme supporting postdoctoral research. Learn more about the programme here.

I will continue my work at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute (IIIA-CSIC) in Barcelona, starting a new project advised by Dr. Felip Manyร .


๐Ÿ” Project: Sherlock4Py

In this project, we will develop new techniques for debugging Python programs using MaxSAT-based reasoning and explores how these methods can enhance LLM-based program repair.


The 2025 MSCA call received over 17,000 proposals, with only about 9.6% selected for funding, highlighting how competitive the MSCA programme is.

I feel very fortunate to have been selected, and I am deeply grateful to everyone who supported me throughout this process. I am excited to get started on this project in April!
