Zhenyang Xu
He is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Software Analytics Group (SWAG) lab at University of Waterloo, under the supervision of Chengnian Sun.
His research focuses on software testing and debugging, with a particular emphasis on compilers. The primary goal of his work is to improve the correctness of compilers and to facilitate the debugging process for compiler developers. Recently, he has also started exploring approaches that leverage large language models (LLMs) to address the challenges inherent in software testing and debugging.
