About

I am a PhD student in the Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University, working with Prof. Chunyang Chen, Prof. Aldeida Aleti, Prof. Yuan-Fang Li, and Prof. Bohan Zhuang. My research interests lie at the intersection of Software Engineering, Human-Computer Interaction, and Large Language Models. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering from the Australian National University in Australia, advised by Prof. Zhenchang Xing. My current research focus is software testing and human-AI interaction including the following three directions.
