Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST)

I am a second-year master’s student in the School of Computer Science and Technology at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), under the guidance of Prof. Yao Wan. I am currently seeking a PhD position in SE/ML for Fall 2025. For an overview of my academic background, please look at my CV. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me: chuzhaoyang@hust.edu.cn | zychu418@gmail.com.

My research interest focuses on the intersection of software engineering and machine learning, where I am particularly intrigued by:

  • Code Intelligence, e.g., code generation, code search, and vulnerability detection.
  • Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence, e.g., explainability, privacy, and robustness.
  • Deep Learning on Graphs, e.g., graph neural networks (GNNs).

🌟🌟 I will be in Vienna, Austria in September for ISSTA 2024! Hope to meet many of you there! 🤗🤗
