I am a 3rd-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, advised by Toby Jia-Jun Li in the SaNDwich Lab. I also work closely with Collin McMillan at Notre Dame and Yu Huang at Vanderbilt University. Before joining Notre Dame, I received my B.Eng. degree in the same department at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) , where I conducted research on recommender systems under the guidance of Yuhui Shi.
My research focuses on human-centered coding agents. I study how developers interact with coding agents in real-world workflows and translate behavioral insights into interaction mechanisms, to make coding agents more understandable, controllable, and adaptable. My work has appeared at leading venues across AI, SE, and HCI, including EMNLP, ASE, ICSE, UIST, and VL/HCC. I open-source my research artifacts whenever possible—check out my GitHub!
This summer, I am interning at
Google as a User Experience Engineer (UXE) intern, working with
Tao Dong on analyzing coding-agent trajectories to inform
agent customization. Let's connect if you're also around the Bay Area!
