About Me
I received my Ph.D. in Software Engineering from Jiangnan University (JNU) in June 2026, under the supervision of Professor Zhaohong Deng. I also serve as a Distinguished Expert at Jianghan University and an Enterprise Mentor at Zhejiang University.
Before pursuing my Ph.D., I spent over 10 years in industry. I was a Senior Software Engineer and Project Manager at Huawei’s Compiler & Programming Language Laboratory (2018–2022), where I was a core contributor to Cangjie (仓颉), China’s first industrial-grade general-purpose programming language. I led the MapleJS team, the Cangjie standard library team, and the compiler architecture group.
My research focuses on Explainable Generative AI, LLM-based Multi-Agent Systems, Bio-health Computing, and Programming Language Design. I am the creator of CangChain (an AI agent framework), a key initiator of the Deeplang programming language, and a founding council member of the Programming Language Open Community (PLOC).
