My research interests focus on Intelligent Software Engineering, Large Language Model (LLM)-based Agents, and Software Testing. I study how AI and foundation models can enhance software development and maintenance, with particular interests in:

• LLM-based Software Engineering Agents
• Intelligent Software Testing and Debugging
• Multimodal Learning for Software Engineering
• Reliability and Evaluation of AI-powered Software Systems
