Yu Zhou

I received my B.Sc and M.Sc of Computer Science from Nanjing University, China in 2004 and 2006 respectively. After that, I became a doctoral student majoring in software engineering at Nanjing University. From 2007 to 2008, I am with the s.e.a.l research group at ifi, uzh as a joint PhD student. My advisors are Prof. Dr. Harald Gall and Prof. Dr. Jian Lu. I have been a student member of the ACM and the IEEE since 2006.

The focus of my research topic is Software Architecture and Software Evolution. I am interested in the techniques that can enable dynamic evolution of software systems in a disciplined way. I am also interested in software evolution analysis by mining software repositories.
