Fantastic Journey!

About Me

I was born and raised in Nanjing, China. I am currently pursuing my Master degree at Software Institue, Nanjing University, as a member of NJU-iSE DL testing group, under the supervision of Associate Prof. Chunrong Fang. Before Joining Nanjing University, I received my B.Eng degree from Nantong University, supervised by Associate Prof. Xiang Chen

My research interests lie at the intersection of Large Language Models, AI Infrastructures, and Fuzz Testing,  aiming to build more reliable, effective, and efficient AI systems for software engineering and programming language. More specifically, I am currently (or previously) focusing on following Research Problems (RPs):

  • RP1: How to ensure the correctness of AI Infrastructures (PyTorch, TVM, vLLM, etc.)?
  • RP2: How to unleash the power of LLMs in specific domain (fuzzing, etc.)?
  • RP3: How to use LLM-based approaches to provide quality assurance for software repositories (GitHub, Stack Overflow, etc.)?

A Few More Words

Traveling

I love being on the way forever. My dream is to travel around the world one day (it would be great if with my research). I hope that I can get to know you on my future journeys (well, maybe you and I already know each other) . Fate is really fantastic!

Swimming

Swimming🏊‍♂️ is cool! I can do breaststroke and now I am teaching myself freestyle at Lui Chi-Woo Natatorium, Gulou Campus, Nanjing University.

Reading

I acknowledge that I have less and less time to read as overwhelmed by my research😩. I still read some valuable books in my spare time (though very little🤣), such as The Worlds I See (Fei-Fei Li) and Making a World of Difference authored (Kai-Fu Lee).

Brainstorming

I'm really open to exchanging ideas with others and talking freely. I have always believed that language is how human relationships are maintained. So, do you want to chat with me over a cup of coffee?
