April 2025 - Present
Davis, CA
  • Built an automated pipeline for C-to-Rust transpilation using LLMs, with 5 prompt variations, targeting secure systems migration.
  • Identified Halstead vocabulary as the strongest metric for predicting translation difficulty.
  • Validated lightweight semantic augmentations (e.g., filename context) that improved functional accuracy by 5%.
  • Benchmarked state-of-the-art LLMs across 746 C/C++ programs, achieving 70.2% functional accuracy with best prompt design.
