 ## Profile
-My research focuses on refactoring and test quality assurance, specifically the impact analysis of refactoring to improve software quality and test efficiency. I am actively analyzing refactoring techniques applied to test code to enhance test quality. Additionally, I am involved in multiple international collaborative research projects, working closely with researchers from universities in the Netherlands, China, and Canada.<br>
-I also have hands-on experience as a QA Engineer, specializing in test quality assurance and test automation. Motivated by a desire to solve challenges discovered in real-world development and to contribute to the overall quality of software in society, I have decided to pursue a Ph.D.
+I am a first-year PhD student in software engineering. My research interests include software testing, refactoring, bug prediction, and Agentic Software Engineering, with the goal of improving software quality and development efficiency.
+In particular, I focus on empirical analysis of how refactoring affects test code quality and maintainability, and on evaluating the effectiveness of AI agents in software development.
+I believe we are approaching an era where AI agents will autonomously develop software. At the same time, agent-induced system failures have already been reported, making it critical to establish quality assurance for the agent era. Through the development of next-generation bug prediction and testing techniques, I am working to build the "foundation of reliability" that underpins agent-driven development.
+My work has been published at top-tier venues including ICSME, ESEM, and MSR (all CORE A).
