Shuyao Jiang
Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering
Logo The Chinese University of Hong Kong

I am a newly graduated Ph.D. from ARISE Lab, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Michael R. Lyu. I received my B.Sc. and M.Eng. degrees in Computer Science from Fudan University in 2019 and 2022 respectively, supervised by Prof. Yangfan Zhou.

My research interests include software testing and debugging, program analysis, runtime optimization, and AI4SE. Currently, I am working on performance testing and optimization for WebAssembly runtime systems.

I am now actively seeking research job opportunities, including postdoctoral and other research positions. If you are aware of any relevant opportunities, please feel free to contact me.
