Hello, I am Xin Zhang (pronunciation ≈ "shin chang"), an assistant professor at Peking University. Before joining Peking, I was a postdoctoral associate at MIT CSAIL working with Prof. Armando Solar-Lezama. I received my Ph.D. from Georgia Tech under the supervision of Prof. Mayur Naik. I am broadly interested in topics related to programming languages and software engineering. For details, please see Research.
