About me

I’m in my 3rd-year as Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science and Engineering at University of Michigan, where I am fortunately advised by Professor Xinyu Wang. I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering at University of Washington.
Research: My interest lies in a cross-descipline of Programming Language, Artificial Intelligence, and Human-centered Design. In particular, I am doing research in Artificial Intelligence and symbolic algorithm powered coding agent that can help end-user in various domains such as process automation and data science.
