About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB), advised by Prof. Wenbo Guo. My research focuses on LLM for Code, Software Security and Program Analysis, with particular interests in automated software patching, code generation security, and AI-assisted software engineering. I am passionate about developing intelligent systems that can improve software security and reliability.
