😉 About Me
I am an undergraduate student pursuing dual degrees in Information Engineering and Public Administration at Shandong University. My research interests lie in the intersection of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Software Engineering, particularly in code translation, automated program repair, and automated program understanding.
I have led multiple research projects in collaboration with Shandong University’s Research Center for Architecture and Embedded Systems and Shandong University’s Smart National Governance Laboratory, under the guidance of Dr. Zhen Yang and Prof. Liguo Fei. In the summer vacation of 2024, I also had the honor to go to Key Laboratory of High Confidence Software Technologies, Ministry of Education (Peking University) for scientific research internship, where my supervisors are Prof. Zhi Jin and Prof. Ge Li.
I have published in top-tier venues including IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (TSE) (CCF-A) and International Symposium on Software Testing and Analysis (ISSTA) (CCF-A). My research has been recognized with prestigious awards, such as the Presidential Scholarship (Research Innovation)—Shandong University’s highest undergraduate honor.
🔥 I am actively looking for a Ph.D. position in AI for Software Engineering (AI4SE). 🔥
