🔭 I am a first-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at University College London (UCL), co-supervised by Prof. Federica Sarro and Dr. He Ye. Previously, I completed my master's degree at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), advised by Prof. Yao Wan. My academic journey has also been enriched by collaborations with Prof. Lingming Zhang at UIUC and Prof. Hongyu Zhang at Chongqing University.
✨ My research interests lie at the intersection of software engineering and artificial intelligence, with an emphasis on safe and reliable coding agents for real-world software engineering workflows.
😄 I am always eager to connect and collaborate, whether you share my interests or bring a different perspective from another field. If you'd like to discuss research, exchange ideas, or just say hi, feel free to reach out at zhaoyang.chu.25@ucl.ac.uk or zychu418@gmail.com.
