About me

Hi there! I'm Xutong, a postdoctoral researcher at the Software Engineering Research Group of TU Delft, working with Professor Andy Zaidman. My current research focuses on green software engineering — I'm interested in understanding and reducing the energy footprint of software development practices, from LLM-based test reengineering and static analysis configurations to batch testing strategies in CI pipelines.

Before joining TU Delft, I completed my Ph.D. at Nanjing University under the supervision of Professor Yuming Zhou, where my research centered on software quality assurance — specifically building more reliable evaluations of defect prediction models and software testing techniques.
