I was a professional Clash of Clans player for
鲨王.
My current research interest is AI-driven Discovery for System Research, inlcuding security and optimization.
I previously worked on Code Intelligence,
supported by Data61 PhD Scholarships,
IBM PhD Fellowship Awards,
Google Research Scholar Program,
DAAD AInet Fellowship,
and MLCommons ML and Systems Rising Stars.
Recent Works: BigCodeArena, Cyber-Zero (ICLR 2026), CTF-Dojo (ICML 2026), Position on Cyber Agents (ICML 2026)
Recent Workshops: Deep Learning for Code: Towards Human-Centered Coding Agents (ICML 2026)
Recent Tutorials: NLP+Code: Code Intelligence in Language Models (EMNLP 2025)
Recent Services: EMNLP 2025 (Senior Area Chair, Session Chair), ACL 2026 (Senior Area Chair). Looking forward to your high-quality submissions!
I am open to collaboration on code intelligence. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in working together.

My Working Principles
- I typically work at least 10 hours a day, unless I decide to take a break.
- Choose wisely and commit wholeheartedly.
- Paper is cheap; they will be published eventually.
- I prioritize long-term research impact over quick wins in publications.
- Any upcoming research I lead will require significant effort and can often be split into multiple papers (though I choose not to).
- I am a generalist, always open to new opportunities, depending on my bandwidth.
Why Code Intelligence?
- Software is the backbone of all advanced technology, making code the bedrock of innovation. [1, 2, 3]
- Code's structured and executable nature allows for precise control and automation. [1, 4]
- Code is the most potent tool for AI to interact with and manipulate the world. [1]
- Code intelligence can dramatically enhance problem-solving capabilities across various domains. [1]
- Advancements in code intelligence lead to more efficient, secure, and scalable solutions. [5, 6, 7]
Fun Facts
- I speak Shanghainese, Mandarin, and English.
- I started my research in Quantum Computing, not AI.
- During my undergraduate years, I explored a wide range of NLP topics, including but not limited to: Commonsense Reasoning, Multimodal Learning, Machine Translation, and Semantic Parsing.
- In a previous life, I was a semiprofessional swimmer, training for 10 years.
- I'm an amateur pianist, playing for 8 years.
- Before high school, I had traveled to most European countries.
