🌟 About Me
I am currently an associate professor at the Beijing Key Laboratory of Intelligent Software Engineering, Institute of Software Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS). Prior to joining ISCAS, I spent two years as a Postdoctoral Associate with the SEKE Lab in the Key Laboratory of High Confidence Software Technologies, Ministry of Education at Peking University (PKU), co-hosted by Prof. Zhi Jin and Prof. Ge Li. I received my Ph.D. from the School of Computer Science (National Pilot Software Engineering School) at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), under the supervision of Prof. Yunzhan Gong.
I work on the intersection of Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and System Software. I aim to build intelligent LLM-based agent systems that automatically assure the quality and reliability of basic software. To achieve this, my current projects explore the following directions:
- 🎯 Empowering the automation of software development lifecycle (e.g., bug fixing, unit testing, and package maintenance) with LLM agents.
- 🎯 Enhancing the resilience of system software (e.g., database systems, cloud-native applications, and RISC-V basic software) with LLM agents.
- 🎯 Assuring the trustworthiness of LLMs and multi-agent systems (e.g., content security, collaboration ability, and agent failure attribution).
I’m actively looking for highly self-motivated undergraduate students and new graduates to join us. If my research catches your eye, just shoot me your CV directly!
