PhD student at Stevens, advised by Prof. Xueqing Liu. I build LLM-based multi-agent systems for software engineering and security, with a focus on making agent reasoning more reliable through neural-symbolic methods.


Research Interests

My work sits at the intersection of large language models and software engineering / security. I focus on three directions: (1) LLM Agent design — planning and acting on open-ended software tasks; (2) Multi-Agent Systems — orchestrating specialized agents to produce structured outputs such as process models and code; and (3) Neural-Symbolic Methods — integrating formal representations with neural reasoning to improve agent reliability and verifiability.
