Zhi Jin

Zhi Jin is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Peking University, where he has been employed since 2009. Previously, he served as a professor at the Academy of Mathematics and System Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences from 1994-2009. He received his BS from Zhejiang University in 1984 and MS/PhD from National University of Defense Technology in 1984 and 1992 respectively. He progressed from assistant professor (1992) to associate professor (1995) to full professor (2001).

His research focuses on knowledge engineering and software engineering, with special interests in knowledge graphs, self-adaptive systems, and deep learning applications. Current research directions include Self-Adaptive Software in Human-Cyber-Physical Systems, Crowd-based Requirements Engineering, and Learning from both Natural Language and Programming Language. His work bridges theoretical knowledge engineering with practical software development challenges.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward applying large language models and AI techniques to traditional software engineering problems, particularly in requirements engineering, code generation, and vulnerability detection. The articles span multiple high-impact venues including ASE, ICSE, and RE, with significant focus on aerospace applications and multi-agent collaboration approaches.

Scientific honors include:

• Winner of National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars (2006)
• Project 973 project lead scientist (2014)
• Member of Discipline Appraisal Group of the Academic Degree Commission (2015)
• Multiple ACM Distinguished Paper Awards

He serves in numerous editorial roles including Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (2018-present) and IEEE Transactions on Reliability (2019-present). He is also an Editorial Board Member for Empirical Software Engineering and Requirements Engineering Journal, and holds leadership positions in the China Computer Federation. His extensive conference service includes PC membership for ICSE, FSE, RE, and other major software engineering venues.
