About

Bio

I received my B.E. degree in Computer Science and Technology from the University of Science and Technology of China, and my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, under the supervision of Prof. Guoqiang Li. I am an Assistant Professor at Shenzhen Technology University. My research interests include code intelligence and large language models.
