Yuan Tian

I'm an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at Queen's University. Before joining Queen's, I was a data scientist at the Living Analytics Research Centre (LARC), Singapore Management University (SMU). I received my Ph.D. degree in Information Systems from SMU in May 2017 and a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Chu Kochen Honors College of Zhejiang University in 2012. I visited Carnegie Mellon University in 2015 and Inria Paris in 2013.

My research focuses on three domains: Data Mining, Software Engineering, and Social Science. My long-term research goal is to help people gain insights from messy data stored in all kinds of software repositories and propose context-aware data-driven approaches to improve the efficiency and capabilities of various stakeholders in software development process.
