🍦 About Me
Hi, there! I’m a Ph.D. student in the School of Cyber Science and Engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), under the supervision of Prof. Haoyu Wang. Previously, I received my B.Eng. degree at Northeastern University (NEU) in June 2023.
My research interests include but are not limited to LLM+SE.
