About Me

I am currently a Research Scientist at the School of Computing and Information Systems, Singapore Management University (SMU), working with Prof. Xiaofei Xie. I obtained my Ph.D. from the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney) in 2025, supervised by Prof. Yulei Sui and Prof. Yuekang Li. My research interests include static program analysis, software testing, software security, cybersecurity, and AI4SE.
