Junjie Chen

Junjie Chen is a Professor at the College of Intelligence and Computing, Tianjin University, where he leads the Software Engineering Team. He has been a Professor since January 2024, after serving as an Associate Professor from July 2019 to January 2024. Prior to his position at Tianjin University, he completed his PhD in Computer Science at Peking University under the supervision of Prof. Bing Xie, Prof. Lu Zhang, Prof. Dan Hao, and Prof. Yingfei Xiong. During his PhD studies, he was also a visiting PhD student at The University of Texas at Dallas under Prof. Lingming Zhang.

His educational background includes a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Beihang University (2010-2014).

Professor Chen's research focuses on four main areas:

• Software Fuzzing: Focusing on fundamental software testing for compilers, operating systems, chip design systems, and AI infrastructure.
• Intelligent Software Engineering: Applying LLMs and deep learning to solve software engineering challenges like code generation, test generation, and code review.
• Trusted AI: Improving AI security, fairness, robustness, and performance through adversarial attacks, data optimization, and software engineering methodologies.
• Software Maintenance: Researching bug localization and fixing, as well as AIOps for anomaly detection and diagnosis.

His recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate a strong focus on the intersection of software testing, compiler infrastructure, and large language models. His work spans from practical compiler testing techniques to advanced applications of AI in software engineering. His research shows a clear trajectory toward addressing the challenges of modern software systems, particularly those involving AI and deep learning components.

Professor Chen has received numerous prestigious awards including:

• National Key R&D Program Young Scientist (2024)
• Huawei Spark Award (2024)
• National Excellent Young Scientists Fund recipient (2023)
• China Institute of Electronics Natural Science First Prize (2023)
• CAST Young Elite Scientists Sponsorship Program (2022)
• Multiple ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Awards

He is actively involved in academic service, serving on editorial boards for JCST and ASEJ, and as a program committee member for major conferences including ICSE, ASE, FSE, and ISSTA. He has also co-organized workshops and seminars, including the Compiler Technology Seminar under the CCF System Software Committee.

Professor Chen leads a research team at Tianjin University that is actively recruiting PhD and Master's students with strong programming skills and interests in Software Engineering, LLMs, Security, and Program Analysis.
