About me

Hi! I’m Saif Mahmud, a PhD in Computer Science student at University of Texas at Arlington. I have completed my MSCS from The University of Texas at El Paso. My research motivation lies at the intersection of Software Engineering, Machine Learning, and Explainable AI. I enjoy building tools that make code more reliable and developers more productive. During my graduate studies, I have created software quality attributes datasets and code smell datasets to help train various machine learning models to detect code smells. Currently, I am focusing on detecting LLM generated code and how they are different from the human counterparts.
