Zheng is interested in applying AI-based program synthesis tools to automate the craft of engineering simulation programs and redesign data structures and algorithms to optimize performance. This will not solely significantly expedite the advancement of engineering simulation software but also redefine the approach of developers within these systems, fostering increased efficiency. The aspiration is for the workflow to shift from manual experimentation with algorithms and data structures to a scenario where developers seamlessly integrate AI-based program synthesis tools.
