Yizhou Chen(陈逸洲)

Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the School of Computer Science, Peking University. I am advised by Prof. Dan Hao and Prof. Zeyu Sun, with a research focus on software engineering and trustworthy intelligent systems.

Before joining Peking University, I received my Master's degree in Electronic Information (Software Engineering) from the School of Computer Science, Wuhan University, under the supervision of Prof. Jin Liu.
