I hold a general interest in mathematics and computer science, and that is part of the reason why I am focusing on formal methods.

I am currently working on an automated theorem prover for the matching logic. The ultimate goal is to have a powerful prover that takes best use of existing general purpose SAT/SMT solvers, and outperforms against popular solvers in specific domains (for example, separation logic provers). I keep updating my research progress in my research diary. I also include many reflections, comments, ideas and thoughts that come to my mind now and then.

• I attended FM'16, hosted in Cyprus, and gave a presentation talk there.

• Towards concolic testing for hybrid systems, Proceedings of the 21st International Symposium on Formal Methods (FM'16)
• A framework for off-line conformance testing of timed connectors, Proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Software Engineering (TASE'15)
• A hybrid model of connectors in cyber-physical systems, Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Formal Engineering Methods (ICFEM'14)

• I am a dan player of the game of Go.
• My favorite pieces of classical music include Beethoven's piano sonatas of Appassionata and Pathetique, and Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2.
