Serving on the Program Committee of the Mining Challenge at the 24th International Conference on Mining Software Repositories (MSR 2027), co-located with ICSE 2027 in Dublin, Ireland. This year's challenge features two datasets on artefacts produced and consumed by AI coding agents: GitSkills (agent skills mined from GitHub) and SpecMine (spec-driven development artefacts).

Served as a student volunteer at the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2026), held October 12–16, 2026 in Munich, helping run the conference and connecting with researchers working on AI coding agents and agentic code review.

Joined NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and INL Director Dr. John Wagner for a discussion on nuclear-powered spacecraft for Mars, hosted by Idaho National Laboratory and the Idaho Space Grant Consortium.

"Comprendia: AI-Augmented Code Comprehension" accepted at the IEEE International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME 2026), Tool Demonstration and Data Showcase Track.

Presented the poster "AI Agents as Software Teammates: What Makes Their Pull Requests Get Accepted" at the 6th Intermountain Engineering, Technology, and Computing (i-ETC) Conference, held May 8–9, 2026 at Brigham Young University (Garden Court).

Presented a poster on "When AI Teammates Meet Code Review: Collaboration Signals Shaping the Integration of Agent-Authored Pull Requests" at the MSR 2026 Mining Challenge in Brazil.

Received the Best Oral Presentation Award at the Idaho State University Research and Creative Works Symposium.

Also received the Best Poster Award at the same symposium — a double win.

"When AI Teammates Meet Code Review: Collaboration Signals Shaping the Integration of Agent-Authored Pull Requests" accepted at the 23rd International Conference on Mining Software Repositories.
