About me

Hi there! I'm Xutong, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Twente, secondment to ING Analytics. I focus on assessing and improving the reliability of Large Language Models (LLMs) in industrial enviroment.

Before this, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at TU Delft in the Software Engineering Research Group, where I collaborated with Professor Andy Zaidman. My work there focused on sustainable software engineering, particularly energy-efficient CI/CD practices and green testing.

I completed my Ph.D. at Nanjing University under the supervision of Professor Yuming Zhou, focusing on software quality assurance, including defect prediction and testing evaluation.
