Lizheng

Lizheng is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) within the College of Information Science and Technology. He earned his PhD in Computer Science from King's College London under the supervision of Mark Harman and Nicolas Gold.

• Education: PhD in Computer Science, King's College London

His research focuses on Search-based Software Engineering, Program Slicing, and State-based Model Slicing and Testing. Key areas include regression testing, test case prioritization, genetic algorithm applications, and empirical studies in software engineering. He has pioneered the Chinese Search-based Software Engineering workshops since 2011.

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in Fault Localization, Code Comment Generation, and Higher-order Mutation Testing, with applications of Transformer/CNN models and reinforcement learning to software testing. Research emphasizes both theoretical foundations and practical implementations.

He has secured four significant grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (2010-2022) for projects including:

• EFSM Slicing and Testing (61472025)
• GPGPU-Based Test Case Prioritization (61170082)
• Test Generation Based on EFSM Slicing (60903002)
• Test Case Optimization in Continuous Integration (61872026)

Lizheng serves as a Steering Committee member for the IEEE SCAM working conference since 2017.
