& AT AN EARLY age, Yun Wang became fascinated with the universal principles underlying most software and hardware systems. They were part of everyday life, yet still seemed mysterious and intriguing. Equally so, she was always interested in food. As Wang learned how to cook, she enjoyed making food for others much more than tasting and eating the food herself. Anything strange or delicious in a restaurant inspired her to create her own version. She began to test different cuisines from around the world, often cooking challenging and complex dishes not usually found in family kitchens—crispy durian pastries, bubble milk tea, Thai soups like Tom Yum Goong and Szechuan style Dan dan noodles, not limiting herself to anything specific. By the time she progressed through various computer science degrees, culminating in a Ph.D. at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Clear Water Bay, she realized that cooking a meal in the kitchen, from preparation all the way through to the final product, required similar skills as that of a software engineer. One needed to secure all the ingredients beforehand, calculate the necessary amounts, and then prepare them in advance. During the cooking process, one could not just randomly throw materials together based on chance procedures. It took planning, focus, and multitasking so the food would not be overcooked or undercooked. Global and local variables often came into play. “This is similar to project management in software engineering,” says Wang, now a researcher at Microsoft Research Asia whose work appears in this issue’s Visualization Viewpoints section. “You need to understand the dependencies between different functions very well, have an overall picture of the project in your mind, and manage your time and efforts wisely so that you canmaximize your productivity.”
