👋 About me

Hello, I’m Chenyan!
I am a 3rd year PhD candidate at the National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore.
I am supervised by Dr. Yun LIN, Dr. ZhiYong HUANG and Dr. Jin Song DONG in the PLSE Lab.
My research interest is machine learning, specifically AI for software engineering.

🔍 I am looking for internship opportunities in AI for coding starting from early 2027 (outside mainland China). Feel free to reach out!
