About

I am a professor and Ph.D. supervisor in the School of Computer Science and Technology at the Beijing Institute of Technology. I was formerly a graduate student at the Software Engineering Institute, Peking University. I defended my PhD thesis in June 2008.

My research interests include AI-based software development, in particular: LLM-based program generation; evaluation and testing of LLMs, software refactoring; software quality; LLM-based software testing; automatic construction of software engineering datasets. My work is funded in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the National Key Research and Development Program of China.

I am a recipient of three ACM Distinguished Paper Awards from 31st ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (ESEC/FSE 2023), 44th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2022), and 48th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2026), respectively.

I also received the RE'2021 Best Research Paper Award (2021), IET Software Premium Award (2018), New Century Excellent Talents in University (2013), and Beijing Higher Education Young Elite Teacher (2013). I am also a distinguished member of China Computer Federation (中国计算机学会杰出会员), and Secretary-General （秘书长）of the CCF Technical Committee on Software Engineering (TCSE).

I am always looking for self-motivated students to work with me.
Contact me by eMail if you are interested in LLMs, software engineering, natural language processing, or data mining.
