Welcome

Hello, and welcome! My name is Xin Ye. I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Ohio University (OU), advised by Dr. Chang Liu and Dr. Razvan Bunescu.

I has been working in the VITAL Lab as a Research Assistant since I joined OU in August 2010. I am expected to graduate in February 2016.

My research interest focus on applying Information Retrieval and Machine Learning techniques to assist automated Software Engineering tasks.

I also develop educational 3D mobile games for assisting high school teaching in the NSF GK-12 BooKS project.

Before attending OU, I worked as an assistant manager in the Information Technology department of Guangdong Materials Group Corporation from 2008 to 2010.

Before that, I worked as a hardware engineer in ZTE corporation after getting a master and a bachelor degree in Electronic Engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology, where I designed the embedded system of a signal processing system.

Research Interests:

• Software Engineering: Static Program Analysis, Mining Software Repository, Automated Fault Localization, Text Analytics for Software Engineering, Software Visualization
• Information Retrieval
• Big Data
• Machine Learning
• Pattern Recognition
