We are hiring research assistant professors and PostDocs. We are also looking for PhD students with strong academic background in Software Engineering, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Programming Languages, or Formal Methods. Please send me an email (with your CV).
Biography
Yuqun Zhang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Southern University of Science and Technology. Dr. Zhang got his B.S. in Communication Engineering from Tianjin University (China) in 2008, and M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Rochester in 2010. He got his Ph.D. in Dec. 2016 from the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department at The University of Texas at Austin. He was very fortunate to work under the supervision of Prof. Dewayne Perry.

Research Projects
I am passionate about building practical software testing, analysis, and debugging systems to predict, detect, diagnose, and fix bugs for all kinds of software systems.
Here are some recent fun projects/problems that we have worked on:
- Fuzzing [ICSE'20]: how can we automatically generate structured tests for exposing program bugs in real-world projects?
- Automated Program Transformation/Repair [ASE'19]: how can we automatically infer potential software patches and efficiently explore them to fix real-world bugs?
- Practical Failure Prediction/Diagnosis [ISSTA'19, TSE'19, ISSTA'21]: how can we predict program defect or precisely identify the root causes for buggy software systems in production?
- AI for SE [TSE'20]: how can we leverage state-of-the-art machine learning/deep learning models for software engineering tasks?
- SE for AI [ICSE'20b, ASE'18]: how can we design advanced testing and debugging techniques to detect, localize, and fix bugs for DNN models, libraries, frameworks, and even platform supports?
