Yuanyuan (YY) Zhou is a Chinese and American computer scientist and entrepreneur. She is a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of California, San Diego, where she holds the Qualcomm Endowed Chair in Mobile Computing. Her research concerns software reliability, including the use of data mining to automatically detect software bugs and flexible system designs that can adapt to hardware platform variations. She is also the founder of three start-up companies, Emphora, Pattern Insight, and Whova.{{citation|url=https://whova.com/blog/whova-ceo-wins-2015-acm-sigops-mark-weiser-award/|title=The CEO of the Whova Event App Wins The 2015 ACM SIGOPS Mark Weiser Award|website=whova.com|date=8 October 2015 |language=en-US|access-date=2018-10-11}}.
Education and career
Zhou earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1992 from Peking University, before earning her M.A. in 1996 from Princeton University. She went on to earn her Ph.D. in 2001, also from Princeton University, under the supervision of Kai Li.{{mathgenealogy|id=69541}} She spent the next two years at the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, where she spun off a start-up from NEC, Emphora, in the area of data storage. Next, she took a faculty position at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2002. During her time there, in 2007, she founded her second start-up, Pattern Insight, to commercialize her work in automated bug detection and removal for large software projects; she continues to serve as Pattern Insight's chief technical officer. In 2009, she moved to UCSD,{{citation|url=http://www.calit2.net/newsroom/article.php?id=1737|title=Computer Scientist Puts NSF Funding to Work for More Reliable Computing|first=Tiffany|last=Fox|publisher=California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology|date=September 9, 2010}}. as the first Qualcomm Professor in Mobile Computing.[https://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/faculty/faculty_bios/index.sfe?fmp_recid=317 UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering Faculty Profiles], retrieved 2018-10-11. In 2012, she founded her third start-up, event-management software company, Whova.{{Cite web|url=https://whova.com/|title=Whova event management software|website=whova.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-10-11}}
