I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the Australian National University (ANU), under the supervision of Xiaoyu Sun, Zhenchang Xing, and Alwen Tiu. Before that, I obtained my bachelor degree from Jiangxi Normal University. My research focuses on Intelligent Software Engineering and Knowledge Graphs.

I am open to collaboration and welcomes inquiries from individuals with overlapping research interests. Please feel free to reach out if you believe our research interests align.
