Thanh Le-Cong

Incoming Assistant Professor

I am an (incoming) tenure-track Assistant Professor at the ISTD Pillar, Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). I am currently completing my Ph.D. at the University of Melbourne, advised by Dr. Bach Le and Prof. Toby Murray. I was one of two recipients of the Google PhD Fellowship in Software Engineering and Programming Technology in 2023. My research focuses on trustworthy automated programming — building reliable and secure software systems through AI. I work on two main tracks: (1) evaluating and enhancing the trustworthiness of AI-based code synthesis and analysis, with a focus on large language models, and (2) creating AI-driven automated software debugging approaches emphasising bug/vulnerability detection and repair. My work has published at premier software engineering venues including ICSE, FSE, ASE, TOSEM, TSE, and ACL.
