I am a 3rd-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, advised by Prof. Toby Jia-Jun Li in the SaNDwich Lab. I also work closely with Prof. Collin McMillan at Notre Dame and Prof. 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 Prof. Yuhui Shi.

This summer, I am interning at Google as a User Experience Engineering (UXE) intern, working with Dr. Tao Dong on AI agents for developer tools. Let's connect if you're around the Bay Area this summer!

My research interests converge at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Software Engineering (SE), and Artificial Intelligence (AI), where I conduct user studies and build interactive tools to understand and improve how humans work with AI in programming tasks. I have published in venues such as VL/HCC, ICSE, and TSE. My research follows two complementary directions:

• Empirically characterizing how developers interact with AI coding assistants, from controlled lab settings to large-scale, in-the-wild conversational programming sessions;
• Designing and evaluating interventions that bridge the gap between developer intent and AI-generated code, to better support human-AI alignment in programming workflows.

All my research projects are open-sourced. Check out my GitHub!
