Currently, I’m a Research Engineer at Singapore Management University, and I will join the Data Science and Analytics (DSA) Thrust at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) as an Assistant Professor in January 2027, where I will lead the MAYU Lab.
I received my PhD from Singapore Management University, supervised by Prof. David Lo, and I was fortunate to be co-advised by Prof. Li Li and Prof. Xiaoning Du. Prior to that, I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Tongji University, and worked as a Research Assistant at ShanghaiTech University and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
My research lies at the intersection of software engineering and artificial intelligence. My mission is to engineer a software ecosystem natively designed for both human developers and AI coders, aiming to maximize the productivity of both.
I am recruiting self-motivated PhD/MPhil students and Research Assistants (RAs) to join my group. If you are interested, please email me with your CV.
