Bo Wang

COM3 @NUS,

Singapore

I am a Ph.D. student at School of Computing, National University of Singapore (NUS). I am working with Prateek Saxena as my advisor.

I am most interested in Automated Program Translation for code migration. I work on the translation of Python to JavaScript (FSE 23, OOPSLA 23) and C to Rust. I am also interested in Program Synthesis in general (FSE 21) and understanding the reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models.

Before this, I received my B.Eng. degree in Computer Science and Technology at University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), where I was fortunate to work with Yu Zhang.

My favorite languages are Rust and Python. I am also fluent in JavaScript and C# since they are handy in Web and game development.
