I have a broad interest in quality assurance technologies for foundational software, e.g., database systems (relational database systems, graph database systems, vector database systems), distributed systems (distributed consensus protocols, distributed database systems), and spreadsheet systems. I aim to build a quality assurance platform for foundational software based on various technologies, e.g., software analysis, software testing, formal methods and large models.
