Research Experience

• [2023-now] Integrating Diverse Personalities Using Large Language Model (LLM)
  • Developed a multi-layered LLM framework enabling generative agents to emulate diverse in-game personalities for testing the games.
  • Achieved higher behavioral diversity and problem-solving strategies across three games, surpassing state-of-the-art tools in game testing coverage.
  • Authored a paper accepted by the 40th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2025).
  • Currently working on data collection and LLMs fine-tuning to further improve personality alignment capabilities.
• [2023-2024] Demystifying Device-specific Compatibility Issues in Android Apps
  • Investigated device-specific compatibility problems caused by manufacturer customizations and mis-implementations.
  • Analyzed 197 compatibility issues, systematically categorizing them, identifying affected functionalities, and characterizing effective solutions.
  • The paper was published in the 40th International Conference on Software Maintenance and Evolution (ICSME 2024).
• [2023] SURE - Exploring Generative Agents for Game Testing & Evaluation
  • This research explored the development of generative agents with diverse personalities for game playing, testing, and evaluation.
  • A literature review on generative gaming agents was conducted, leading to the conceptualization of a model and a memory system to support these agents.
  • The project culminated in a poster presentation that garnered substantial interest from researchers and professors.
• [2022-2023] Capstone - Mining & Analyzing Hot Topics on Stack Overflow
  • This research centred on the Natural Language Processing of IoT-related discussions on Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange.
  • Experimented with various text preprocessing techniques and modeled data using keywords and topics.
  • Utilized KeyATM and LDA for comparative analysis, aiming to assist future users of these platforms in efficiently accessing relevant information.
