ZJU100 Young Professor

Zhejiang University

I am a US-equivalent tenure-track Assistant Professor leading the Formal Verification Group at Zhejiang University. Prior to joining ZJU, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Software Modeling and Verification Group headed by Prof. Joost-Pieter Katoen at RWTH Aachen University. In 2019, I received the Ph.D. degree in computer science from the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences under the supervision of Prof. Naijun Zhan and co-supervision of Prof. Martin Fränzle.

My primary research interest lies in formal verification and synthesis, broadly construed in mathematical logic and theoretical computer science. I develop formal reasoning techniques for programs and hybrid discrete-continuous systems for ensuring the reliability and effectiveness of safety-critical software systems while pushing the limits of automation as far as possible. I appreciate – and have been constantly fascinated by – the elegance of mathematical aspects of computer science as well as its impact on real-world applications. See the research statement for my faculty application at ZJU.
