About me

I joined Software Engineering School, Sun Yat-sen University as an assistant professor in July 2022. Previously, I worked at Microsoft Research Asia, Data, Knowledge, and Intelligence (DKI) group as a senior researcher. I received the B.S. degree in computer science from Zhejiang University and the PhD degree from the University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Bruno C. d. S. Oliveira.

My research interests include:

• Software engineering

• Programming languages

• Artificial intelligence

• Recommender systems
