    About me

    I am interested in developing intelligent software engineering techniques and tools for software development, maintenance, and operation. I lead the CodeWisdom Team in Fudan University.

    Our research focuses on three aspects: software analytics and big data analysis for software development; intelligent software development by using AI technologies such as deep learning and knowledge graph; intelligent software technologies in mobile and cloud computing, including AIOps of microservice systems and situational composition of ubiquitous services.

    Our work won the Best Paper Award of ICSM 2011, the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award of ASE 2018/2021, the IEEE TCSE Distinguished Paper Award of ICSME 2018/2019/2020, and IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering Best Paper award for 2018.

    Working/Education Experience:

  • 2015 – present, Professor, Fudan University
  • 2010 – 2015, Associate Professor, Fudan University
  • 2006 – 2010, Assistant Professor, Fudan University
  • 2001 – 2006, PhD of Computer Science, Fudan University
  • 1997 – 2001, Bachelor of Computer Science, Fudan University
