I am a senior PhD student in Computer Science at McGill University, while taking a leave of absence from IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. At McGill, I am working with Prof. Martin Robillard in the SWEVO lab.
My projects span numerous areas in Software Engineering. During my six years at IBM Research, the projects I was involved with touched on areas such as in software development governance, recommendation systems, software traceability, collaborative software development environments, and software configuration management. Prior to IBM, when I was pursuing my Master's and Bachelor's theses at University of British Columbia with Prof. Gail Murphy, I was involved in mining software repositories and static analysis on Java exceptions.
Some of my recent professional activies include orgranizing the IBM Jazz Research Reception at ICSE 2009. I recently serve on the following Program Committees: International Conference on Global Software Engineering (ICGSE 2009), International Conference on Software Maintenance (ICSM 2009), and Workshop on Software Development Governance (SDG 2009).

(Ying, Tsui Tsui, pronounced as ying-chuoi-chuoi in Cantonese). My given name,, describes a type of green colour in jade or fresh grass.
I am married to Pablo Duboue. Pablo is a researcher in Natural Language Processing at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. Incidentally, my two siblings are also computer professionals: my sister Maggie works in Microsoft and my brother Henry works in the IT department of UPS.
I love the magical connections from making and sharing choral music with other people. I have been fortunate enough to sing with Oratorio Society of New York. The choir’s usual venue is the Carnegie Hall and the choir is often reviewed by the NY Times. Another memorable experience was with Angelica, a acapella women chamber choir mostly singing early music. This July I am very much looking forward to attend the Tallis Scholars Summer School with the world premier group of acapella singers.
I commute by public transit almost all my life. I am especially proud that even in a US suburb where most of my colleagues commute by car, I could still choose to commute by public transit. There are many reasons:
I’m moving to Montreal soon and I’m very much looking forward to this public transit friendly city!
