Zhe Zhou (周喆)
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Purdue University, working with Prof. Suresh Jagannathan. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Purdue University, where I was advised by Prof. Suresh Jagannathan and Prof. Benjamin Delaware. Prior to my doctoral studies, I worked as a full-time software engineer at Megvii (Face++) from 2017 to 2018. I earned my bachelor's degree from Peking University in 2017, where I was advised by Prof. Guangyu Sun.
My research interests are in programming languages (PL), with a particular focus on automated program verification and synthesis, property-based testing, and refinement types. My work aims to advance automated program verification and testing tools along three dimensions: increasing expressiveness, providing stronger guarantees, and reducing the need for expert intervention. I am also interested in the intersection of machine learning (ML) and PL—both applying ML techniques to PL problems and using PL insights to enhance ML.
Here is my CV.
