Jocelyn (Qiaochu) Chen

I am an incoming Faculty Fellow at NYU Courant starting Fall 2024 and an incoming Assistant Professor at University of Alberta starting Summer 2025. I obtained my PhD at the University of Texas at Austin with Isil Dillig and Greg Durrett. I do research on program synthesis. I am also a part-time intern at Nectry this summer.
