About me
Ningzhi Tang (唐宁直) is a 2nd year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, advised by Prof. Toby Jia-Jun Li in SaNDwich Lab. Before joining Notre Dame, he received his B.Eng. degree in the same department at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), conducting research on recommender systems under the guidance of Prof. Yuhui Shi.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Software Engineering (SE) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). My research focuses on developing human-centered tools to support developers in areas such as code comprehension, debugging, and education. I am particularly interested in exploring new challenges and applications introduced by large language models, and in developing tools to address these challenges.
📢 I'm currently in Liverpool, UK, attending VL/HCC 2024 from September 2 to 6, where I'll attend the Graduate Consortium and present our paper titled "Developer Behaviors in Validating and Repairing LLM-Generated Code Using IDE and Eye Tracking." Welcome to say hi and chat with me!
