About me
I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong, advised by Chenxiong Qian.
My research interests broadly span artificial intelligence and software engineering. I am currently working on repository-level documentation generation, code optimization, and AI safety.
Previously, I received my master’s degree in Computer Science and Technology from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen in 2025, advised by Cuiyun Gao. I received my bachelor’s degree in Data Science and Big Data Technology from Lanzhou University in 2022.
I’m always happy to explore collaborations and exchange ideas. If you have an interesting idea or would like to work together, feel free to reach out at zezhouyang@connect.hku.hk.
