// 01Work
01
BinSleuth
TII · 2025

VSCode extension for on-demand C/C++ vulnerability detection. TypeScript extension + FastAPI backend, tree-sitter static parsing, in-house fine-tuned LLM over SSH tunnel. CodeLens, Diagnostics, and Hover UI. Presented at CyberQ 2025.

02
Vulnerability Dataset Pipeline
TII · 2025

Unified CVE dataset with full metadata, commit context, and exploit signals. 2-stage tree-sitter pipeline across 120+ C repos for 0-day hunting. CPG-based graph datasets via Joern — CFG/DDG/CDG — with a per-node scoring algorithm.

03
LLM Evaluation Harness
TII · 2025

Multi-judge evaluation system comparing proprietary and frontier models on correctness and completeness. BFCL benchmark coverage, structured-output and tool-calling tasks. Prompt-optimization pipeline using LLMs to discover optimal prompts per dataset.

04
LiDAR-Augmented APF Navigation
UAEU · 2024–2025

Learning-augmented Artificial Potential Field scheme for narrow-corridor robot traversal. LoG edge detection, corridor-width estimation via chord length and law of cosines, dynamic repulsive field reduction. Deployed on Rosmaster R2 (Jetson Nano).

05
PV Fault Classification
UAEU · 2024

Image-based inspection pipeline benchmarking MobileNetV2, EfficientNetB0, ResNet50, ViT, and EfficientNet-L2 (SAM/ASAM). Led dataset curation — duplicate removal, relabeling, rebalancing. Showed data quality dominates architecture choice.

01
First AuthorAICT 2025 (to appear)

Photovoltaic Panel Fault Classification Using Deep Learning Models on Small Scale Dataset

Comparative benchmark of CNN/transformer variants under unified preprocessing. Evidence that data curation matters more than model size for PV inspection tasks.

02
Lead AuthorManuscript in preparation · 2025

Learning-Augmented APF for Narrow-Passage Navigation with LiDAR

Dynamic repulsive-field adjustment from LiDAR-derived corridor-width estimates enabling safe traversal through physical bottlenecks. Modular design for wheeled and legged robots.
