About me

About

I am Xiaofan Liu, a Ph.D. candidate in Software Engineering at Wuhan University (WHU). My research interests include software analysis and testing, optimization algorithms, and artificial intelligence. Before my Ph.D., I received my M.S. in Computer Science and Technology from Northeast Normal University (NENU) in 2022, and my B.S. in Computer Science and Technology from Jilin University (JLU) in 2019.
