Academic Achievements
  • Published 'DeFT: Maintaining Determinism and Extracting Unit Tests for Autonomous Driving Planning' at ICSE 2026; 'A Comprehensive Study of Bug-Fix Patterns in Autonomous Driving Systems' at FSE 2025; 'Misconfiguration Software Testing for Failure Emergence in Autonomous Driving Systems' at FSE 2024; 'scenoRITA: Generating Diverse, Fully Mutable, Test Scenarios for Autonomous Vehicle Planning' in TSE 2023; 'Doppelgänger Test Generation for Revealing Bugs in Autonomous Driving Software' at ICSE 2023.
Research Experience
  • Joined the Software Aurora (SORA) Lab in 2021; contributed to the Autoware Foundation - Centers of Excellence (CoE) Blog, focusing on advancing software testing for autonomous driving systems, including scenario generation frameworks and simulation-based testing, ADS misconfiguration testing approach and violation detection tool, large-scale bug-fix analyses in Autoware & Apollo, and the design of CADRI, a cloud-based ADS research infrastructure.
Education
  • 2021.09 - Present: Ph.D. Candidate in Software Engineering at the University of California, Irvine, advisor: Prof. Joshua Garcia; 2016.09 - 2020.06: Bachelor of Computer Science from Wuhan University, China.
Background
  • Research interests include scenario generation and automated testing of autonomous driving systems, performance prediction and ranking of software configurations, and using AI/ML approaches to solve more software engineering (SE) and autonomous driving system (ADS) problems.
