Liping Zhao is a researcher in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester, focusing on Requirements Engineering, Natural Language Processing, and Software Engineering. Their work explores the integration of NLP techniques into requirements engineering to enhance the analysis and classification of software requirements. Zhao's research includes systematic reviews of machine learning algorithms for non-functional requirements, zero-shot learning for requirements classification, and the application of large language models in requirements engineering. They also investigate the role of requirements engineering in agile development and the use of NLP for extracting software development insights from mobile application reviews. Additionally, Zhao contributes to blockchain system design and architectural patterns for enterprise integration.
