I obtained my master’s degree from the School of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science, Nantong University, where my research focused on Large Language Models for Software Engineering (LLM4SE), with an emphasis on vulnerability detection, under the supervision of Prof. Xiaolin Ju(鞠小林) and Prof. Xiang Chen(陈翔).

In addition, I interned at Baidu, HiThink Research, and INF, where my work centered around large language models, including their application, training, and evaluation.

My research interests include Software Engineering and Large Language Models. I have published 8 papers at the international Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence conferences/journal. These works have received a total of on Google Scholar.
