Bo Wang

Bo Wang is an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Science and Technology at Beijing Jiaotong University (BJTU), where he serves as a Master's Supervisor. He received his PhD in Computer Science from Peking University in 2021, with prior educational background from University of Science and Technology of China (Master) and Central South University (Bachelor).

His academic journey includes significant international experience, having been a visiting Ph.D. student at the National University of Singapore in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. Abhik Roychoudhury, and a visiting scholar at Singapore Management University in 2024. These experiences have contributed to his global perspective on software engineering research.

Dr. Wang's research spans four primary areas of software engineering:

• Compiler Testing and Tuning - Focusing on identifying bugs in C++ compilers through innovative fuzzing techniques and type-driven mutation
• Mutation Analysis - Developing efficient approaches to mutation testing that reduce computational overhead while maintaining effectiveness
• Automated Program Repair - Creating systems that automatically fix software bugs, with emphasis on efficiency and validation techniques
• AI for Software Engineering - Exploring how large language models can enhance various software engineering tasks including fault localization and test generation

His publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on practical software engineering problems with significant technical depth. Recent work shows an increasing integration of AI/ML techniques with traditional software engineering approaches, particularly in evaluating how large language models can contribute to automated program repair and fault localization. His research often targets efficiency improvements, seeking to make advanced software engineering techniques more practical for real-world application.

Dr. Wang has been recognized with prestigious awards including the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award for his ISSTA 2017 work on mutation analysis and the IEEE TCSE Distinguished Paper Award for his ICSME 2025 paper on automated program repair.

As an active member of the software engineering community, Dr. Wang serves on program committees for major conferences including ASE, FSE, and ICSE. He has advised multiple Master's students at Beijing Jiaotong University, guiding research in software testing, program analysis, and automated repair techniques. His work has been supported by academic grants that enable his research group to pursue innovative approaches to challenging software engineering problems.

Dr. Wang maintains an active research group focused on software testing and analysis, with projects spanning compiler testing, mutation analysis, automated program repair, and AI applications in software engineering. His lab employs both traditional program analysis techniques and cutting-edge AI approaches to address longstanding challenges in software reliability and maintenance.
