Pinjia He

Pinjia He is an Assistant Professor and Presidential Young Fellow at the School of Data Science, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, where he leads research in software engineering, AI systems, and log analysis. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and his B.E. from South China University of Technology.

His research focuses on three interconnected areas:

• AI for Software Engineering: Developing LLM-based tools for automated logging, code repair, and AIOps
• Software Engineering for AI: Ensuring safety and reliability of AI systems through testing and validation
• Software Systems: Log analysis, anomaly detection, and performance optimization in distributed systems

Recent publications demonstrate strong emphasis on testing methodologies for AI systems (LLMs, vision-language models), automated log analysis techniques, and AI reliability. His work consistently appears in top-tier venues including ICSE, FSE, ASE, and ICLR.

He has received significant recognition including:

• Most Influential Paper Award (ISSRE)
• IEEE Open Software Services Award
• IEEE CS TCSE Rising Star Award

He leads a substantial research team with 9 PhD and 8 Master's students, focusing on AI/SE integration. The group maintains active industry collaborations and open-source projects with over 5,000 GitHub stars.
