About Me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at Peking University, advised by Prof. Lu Zhang. I completed my undergraduate studies in Big Data and Software Engineering at Chongqing University, where I ranked 1st out of 122. I have also been fortunate to begin my research journey under the supervision of Prof. Hongyu Zhang in 2023.

Standing at the intersection of software engineering and artificial intelligence, I believe we are witnessing a turning point in how software is created, as it shifts from something written primarily by humans to something increasingly understood, generated, and evolved by intelligent systems. I want to build the next generation of code intelligence by creating systems that can reason deeply about software, transform human intent into reliable executable behavior, and ultimately redefine how intelligence creates, evolves, and acts through software.

I am always open to collaborations and discussions. Please feel free to contact me by email or on WeChat: Wwstarryluck. Here is my CV.

Personality

Beyond research, I enjoy playing games and reading novels. I am currently exploring great food and discovering new flavors. My MBTI is INFJ. I especially enjoy listening to rap and R&B, and some of my favorite singers are Renzhong Yan, David Tao, JJ Lin, and Leehom Wang. I also enjoy playing table tennis. I enjoy solitude and often like spending time alone, but I am also happy to meet new people and make new friends.

Contact Me

I value conversations that sharpen ideas, challenge assumptions, and open up new ways of thinking, so if you have thoughts on my work, a different perspective on a problem, or an idea you would like to discuss, I would be glad to hear from you. I have benefited greatly from the generosity of mentors, collaborators, and friends, and for the same reason I am always happy to connect, exchange ideas, or offer help when I can.

If you would like to talk about research, collaboration, or anything related to code generation and software engineering, the best way to reach me is by email: panruwei666@gmail.com.
