Zhixing Li (李志星)

Hi there! I am currently an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at National University of Defense Technology (NUDT). I got my Ph.D. degree from NUDT in 2021.

My main research interest is software engineering, spanning from mining software repositories and open source communities, analyzing social code reviews and software crowdsourcing.
