I have joined the Shanghai Institute for Advanced Study of Zhejiang University (SIAS) as an Assistant Professor (ZJU100 Young Professor). Before that, I recieved my Ph.D at MSF, Faculty of Information Technology, Monash University. I was very fortunate to work under the supervision Prof. John Grundy and Dr. Xin Xia during my Ph.D studies. Before starting my Ph.D, I worked as a research engineer under the supervision of Prof. Lingxiao Jiang and Prof. David Lo in Singapore Management University. My research interests include software engineering, blockchain technology, data mining, and deep learning, particularly in mining software repositories, search based software engineering, recommender systems. I will be looking for students interested in working on intelligent software engineering and related topics.
