Postgraduate Research Publications with Awards
Note: For our graduates, the following listings include awards that were received during their study period here with us. All profiles will reflect their latest and current statuses.
Senior Area Chairs (SAC) Highlights
at the 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL 2026), for the paper, "SeCuRepair: Semantics-Aligned, Curriculum-Driven, and Reasoning-Enhanced Vulnerability Repair Framework".
The SAC Highlight is an award given by the Senior Area Chairs to recognize one or a small number of papers from their area that they consider particularly outstanding. Selected papers exemplify qualities such as originality, significance, technical excellence, reproducibility, or potential positive impact on the field. Typically, the award is given to less than 1% of all submissions. These papers are independent of the Best Paper Committee's selection.
ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award
at the 48th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE 2026), for the paper, "Think Like Human Developers: Harnessing Community Knowledge for Structured Code Reasoning".
Top 1-2% of all submissions (less than 10% of all accepted papers).
IEEE TCSE Distinguished Paper Award
at the 33rd IEEE International Conference on Software Analysis, Evolution and Reengineering (SANER 2026), for the paper, "What You Trust Is Insecure: Demystifying How Developers (Mis)Use Trusted Execution Environments in Practice".
Top 1-2% of submissions (less than 10% of accepted papers).
ACM SIGSOFT Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award
from the ACM SIGSOFT for his dissertation “Towards Robust, Secure, and Privacy-Aware Large Language Models of Code”.
ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award
from the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) at the 40th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE 2025), for the paper, '"My productivity is boosted, but …" Demystifying Users’ Perception on AI Coding Assistants'.
