About me

Bio

Hi, I am a third year Ph.D. student in the LLM for Software Engineering Lab (LLMSE), affiliated with the School of Software at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China. Iā€™m grateful to be advised by Prof. Xiaodong Gu and Prof. Beijun Shen.

My main research interests are in the field of Natural Language Processing and Software Engineering. Some of my recent projects can be found in my Github homepage here. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my work or have any questions.

We have multiple potential projects available with abundant computing resources! If you are interested in collaboration or internship (remote is also welcome), please feel free to contact me.
