研究方向：软件测试（基于AI的软件测试）、软件安全、RISC-V软件、智能软件分析与测试等。
I am interested in testing and analyzing large-scale programs, such as detection of concurrency issues and security bugs. My main works are as follows:
- AI and AI based Systems
- Testing Autonomous Driving (ISSTA 2023).
- TTA (ICML 2024).
- Rule based bug mining (ICSE 2016b, ESEC/FSE 2018, IEEE TSE 2019).
- Concurrency
- General algorithms for detecting concurrency bugs (ACM TOSEM 2023, ESEC/FSE 2021a, ICSE 2023).Deadlock detection, from prediction (ICSE 2020, ICSE 2012, IEEE TSE 2014) to isolation (ASE 2016, TSE 2016, ICSE 2014, IEEE TPDS 2015, PPoPP 2013, ICSE 2012).
- Security
- Concurrency vulnerabilities: ICSE 2024, ESEC/FSE 2019, ESEC/FSE 2021b, ISSTA 2021a.
- Software vulnerabilities: SANER 2020, USENIX 2022, IEEE TRel 2022, SOSP 2023, CCS 2024.
