About

Welcome back, Commander!
My name is Zhiqiang Zang (臧志强). I am a Ph.D. candidate at The University of Texas at Austin, working with Prof. Milos Gligoric. My current research interests are JIT (Just-In-Time) compiler testing and optimization. I am also familiar with other software engineering and programming language topics, including debugging, domain-specific languages, program analysis, etc.
I obtained my B.E. in Telecommunication Engineering at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2018.

Fun facts
My favorite video game franchise is Command & Conquer: Red Alert . I have been playing the game since I was an eight-year-old boy. I organized nine tournaments for the game(s) since 2017. My dream is to visit all the cities or places appearing in the video game in real world and I have visited seven of them: San Antonio, Los Angeles, San Francisco, St. Louis, Chicago, New York City and Seattle!
