👀 About Me

I am a PhD student in the College of Computer Science and Technology of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

My research focuses on Intelligent Software Engineering, with a spotlight on the following key areas:

  • Reliability
  • Robustness
  • Security
  • Economy
  • Evaluation Metrics
  • Others

My advisor is Professor Yu Zhou (周宇), Xiang Chen (陈翔), and David Lo. I have published over 30 papers at the international SE conferences (e.g., SANER, ICSME) and journals (e.g., TSE, TOSEM, EMSE).
