Welcome! I am Xieyang Wang (王撷阳).

I am currently a second-year Phd student in Software Engineering at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA), China. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jianqiu Xu. I received my master’s degree in Software Engineering at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, also advised by Prof. Jianqiu Xu, who is an excellent teacher, guiding me to the academic path.

My research interest includes Moving Objects Database, Text-to-sql, and Automatic Index Tuning. This involves designing a natural language interface for moving objects databases, while focusing on the efficiency of structured query statements through automatic index tuning.

You can find my CV here: xxx. If you are interested in my work, please feel free to drop me an email.
