Biography

Hi, I am now working at Ant Financial Tech as a Senior Software Engineer. I got my PhD degree from Nanjing University, China (2011-2017). My doctor supervisor is Prof. Baowen Xu. I have also been studying at Purdue University (USA) for two years (2014-2016), co-advised by Prof. Xiangyu Zhang. I got my bachelor degree at Southeast University, China (2007-2011).

Research Interest

I am mainly working on Software Engineering area, developing new techs for programming intelligence, bug detection, software testing and etc. Especially, I am interested in applying technologies such as symbolic execution, probabilistic inference and machine learning to address practical issues involved during the software development. My another interest is computer networking, developing new techs to provide a high quality cloud network and data-center network.
