Research Interests
Chuyang Chen is passionate about theories and techniques at the intersection of cybersecurity, programming languages and software engineering. Specifically, he focuses on the so-called
semantic gap
problem, i.e., how to go back and forth between different programming languages and specifications such as from C programs to Rust programs or from the bytecode of a Java method to its pre-/post-conditions. He is also closely monitoring and pondering what LLMs can do in the software world.
