Pritam Gharat

I am a senior researcher at Microsoft Research India. Earlier, I was a post-doc researcher at Microsoft Research India and at Imperial College London. I obtained my Ph.D. from IIT Bombay, India in 2018 under the supervision of Uday P. Khedker.

My research interest is in the area of Programming Languages and Software Engineering. I was working on a sound, light-weight, and modular analysis for resource leak detection at Microsoft. Recently, I have embarked on a new venture that entails performing static analysis using Large Language Models (LLMs).

I have worked on pointer analysis as part of my Ph.D. thesis. My thesis is based on making interprocedural analysis efficient without compromising on precision. More details can be found here. My work at Imperial College focussed on efficient bug detection by combining static analysis and dynamic symbolic execution. More details can be found here.

Here is my CV.

My Ph.D. Thesis.
