About

I am a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, where I am supervised by Chengnian Sun. My research interests lie at the intersection of software engineering and programming languages, with a particular focus on software testing and debugging. My goal is to improve software reliability by building advanced bug detection and resolution techniques.
