Hi there!

I’m Dayi, a passionate researcher in the interdisciplinary domain of software engineering and AI.

I am currently a Principal Researcher at the Centre for Software Excellence, Huawei Canada, leading the research on software engineering for AI / Foundation Model-based software systems, and improving foundation model’s software engineering capabilities. My research interests include AI for Software Engineering, Software Engineering for AI Systems, LLM for Code, and Game Engineering. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Queen’s University, Canada.

As an experienced researcher with a solid engineering background, I believe in the value of combining rigorous scientific methodologies with robust engineering practices. Apart from my academic research, I have also worked in multiple industries including eCommerce, telecommunications, automotive, gaming, and education.

You can find out more about my research here, and contact me here. I’m also active on various social media (linked on this page) so feel free to follow my adventures there!
