Borui Yang is currently a Ph.D. student in Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, supervised by Prof. Zeyu Sun and Prof. Fanjiang Xu. Before joining UCAS, he was a research intern under the guidance of Prof. Jie M. Zhang at King’s College London. During this time, he was also extreme fortunate to collaborate with Prof. Gias Uddin from York University. He received his Master degree from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, where he was advised by Prof. Mengwei Xu and Prof. Haoyu Wang.

During his Master’s studies, Borui discovered his research interests in Software Engineering and Large Language Models. Now, he is particularly enthusiastic about exploring the intersection of SE and AI, with a focus on enhancing the trustworthiness and reliability of both domains. Drawing from his background as a former ACM/ICPC competitor, he is also deeply interested in programming languages, especially in areas such as code generation and analysis.

I’m actively seeking research collaborations in the area of SE4AI or AI4SE. Feel free to reach out via email!

Outside of Research


Coincidentally, my high school deskmate, Dr. Haozhi Ma, is now a global ecologist at WSL, and another high school close friend, Dr. Shunan Feng, is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen (neither of them works in Computer Science, interestingly enough šŸ˜„).

Outside of research, I enjoy sharing different aspects of my life. I consider myself an amateur photographer, musician, gamer, and passionate football enthusiast. As a proud Merengue, I support Real Madrid, with Iker Casillas FernĆ”ndezā€”who also played as a goalkeeper on the fieldā€”being my all-time favorite player.

Beyond football, I am also a ā€œhall-of-fameā€ World of Warcraft player and was once a well-known content creator in the Chinese WoW community. These diverse hobbies not only enrich my personal life but also provide a steady source of energy for my academic pursuits. That said, maintaining a healthy workā€“life balance is always a challengeā€”and one I continue to reflect on throughout my journey.
