Jiyuan Wang

Dr. Jiyuan Wang serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science within Tulane University's School of Science & Engineering, commencing his appointment in Fall 2025. Prior to Tulane, he worked as an Applied Scientist at Amazon Web Services, focusing on program analysis and formal verification for cloud systems. His academic background includes a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UCLA (2025) and a B.S. in Physics from Tsinghua University (2019).

His educational journey:

• Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Computer Science, University of California, Los Angeles, 2025
• Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Physics, Tsinghua University, 2019

Dr. Wang's research centers on Software Engineering for next-generation computing platforms, with particular emphasis on Quantum Computing and Heterogeneous Computing (including FPGAs and GPUs). He develops innovative techniques for testing and debugging, such as multi-layer compiler debugging, full-stack compiler testing, and fuzz testing tailored for heterogeneous applications. His work bridges the gap between software reliability and the complexities of modern hardware accelerators, addressing critical challenges in compiler correctness and application robustness.

An analysis of his publication record from 2020 to 2025 reveals a consistent focus on advancing software testing methodologies for heterogeneous systems. The research evolved from big data analytics (BigFuzz) to compiler testing (HeteroFuzz, DuoReduce) and quantum software stacks (QDiff), demonstrating increasing sophistication in tackling platform-specific challenges. His recent 2025 papers highlight breakthroughs in MLIR compiler debugging and fuzzing.

His notable recognitions include:

• SIGSOFT Research Highlight for QDiff (ASE 2021)
• Best Poster Award at ICST 2021

Dr. Wang is currently building his research group at Tulane and actively seeks motivated graduate students interested in software engineering for quantum and heterogeneous computing. His industry experience at AWS and strong publication record in top venues (ASE, ICSE, FSE, ASPLOS) indicate active research funding and collaborative opportunities. He teaches Quantum Computing (CMPS-4660/6660) and mentors students in cutting-edge research projects.

While a dedicated lab name isn't specified, Dr. Wang's research group focuses on developing practical tools for compiler and application testing in heterogeneous environments, with growing emphasis on quantum software stacks.
