Yanze Li [CV]
About
I’m a second-year PhD student at UBC working with Alexander J. Summers and Ivan Beschastnikh. I’m interested in programming languages, program verification, and type theory.
Before that, I worked as a Software Engineer in Coderrect Inc. where I was the main developer of an LLVM-based static analyzer for concurrent programs. My previous research focused on static analysis, especially detecting concurrency bugs.
I got my MS in Computer Science from Texas A&M University, advised by Jeff Huang. Before that, I got my B.Eng. from Department of Electrical Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

Misc
I was often asked how to pronounce my first name correctly. It contains 2 Chinese characters (“Yan(彦)” and “Ze(泽)”) and you can find its pronunciation in Mandarin here. Nevertheless, I’m happy with any reasonable pronunciation!
I’m a huge fan of video games (although I don’t have enough time playing them since I started doing research).
I love games with good story-telling (e.g., Life is Strange/Detroit: Become Human) and games with sci-fi/cyberpunk backgrounds. I sincerely hope video games can be a main stream for story-telling someday.
