Biography

Dr. Yutian Chris Tang is an Assistant Professor (UK Lecturer) [University Profile] at the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computing, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, under the supervision of Prof. Xiapu Luo and Dr. Hareton Leung (Emeritus). He received his B.Sc in Computer Science from Jilin University. His research interests include AI+SE (Large-language Model+SE), LLM, Agentic AI, empirical software engineering, privacy protection, and software testing. He is a senior member of IEEE, a member of CCF, the European Alliance for Innovation (EAI), and EuroSys. He is also a member of EPSRC Peer Review College and a technical committee member of the IEEE Technical Committee on Software Engineering. He also contributes to the IEEE Standards Association P1633 Working Group (IEEE Recommended Practice on Software Reliability).

Chris has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers at premier software engineering venues such as ESEC/FSE, TheWebConf(WWW), ASE, SANER, ISSRE, ICPC conferences, and IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (TSE), IEEE Transactions on Reliability (TReli), JSS, IST journals. His works received the Best Industry Paper Award at ISSRE'18, and ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award at ICSE'26.. Three works reported defects in Android OS, which are confirmed by the Google Security Team. He serves as an Editorial Board Member for the Frontiers in Computer Science journal and the Scientific Programming. He also serves as the PC member of 10+ international conferences such as PLDI, ICSE, ESEC/FSE, ASE, ICPC, SANER, CAiSE, EASE, SEKE, MSR, APSEC, MobileSoft, VaMoS. His future research plans are directed towards advancing the techniques to automatically test programs and locate bugs, and providing tool support for their applications.

I’m looking for PhD students and Post-Docs interested in the topics described above and on my website at https://www.chrisyttang.org/.

Do not hesitate to contact me with your CV and academic transcript. Spontaneous applications are welcomed and I will do my best to answer and engage with the proposals you make.

While there is no guaranteed funding, I will always help to find suitable funding if we agree on a topic we both would enjoy working on. Please also see official guidance on scholarships.

[CSC Ph.D. Studentship] Deadline: January of the academic year.

• What is covered: if accepted by the CSC, the CSC covers the stipend. The college’s graduate school endeavors to match this with a tuition waiver.
• Eligibility of Student: student has to be Chinese and has to agree to the CSC’s terms which include the requirement to return to China after completing their Ph.D.

Students who are not already in Glasgow, and who are affiliated with partner institutions are encouraged to apply for CSC Ph.D. studentship.

[Ph.D. application process] Please refer to University of Glasgow - Schools - School of Computing Science - Postgraduate research - Prospective students. For international students, please make sure that you have the documentation to meet the language requirements for the College of Science & Engineering before you start the application process.
