I am an associate professor in Faculty of Software College, Northeastern University (NEU), China. My research focuses on intelligent software development (including software refactoring, software ecosystem, dependency management, software testing, third-party libraries, etc.), software engineering for AI models, and complex network theory for software engineering. I obtained my PhD from Northeastern University, under the supervision of Prof. Zhiliang Zhu and Hai Yu. In 2018, I had a memorable visiting experience at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in the Castle group, under the supervision of Prof. Shing-Chi Cheung.
