Research

I conduct research in the area of software engineering. I am particularly interested in studying and improving the way we develop high quality software, including productive teams, processes and practices, and empirical software engineering. My focus is on software requirements engineering, software architecture, and software development processes and practices. More information can be found on our lab's web page: Software Engineering Research and Applications Lab. Some of my previous publications can be found here (dblp). If you are looking for a visting scholar position, please email me for details.

  • Prospective PhD students: If you are interested in software engineering research and are looking for a supervisor, please have a look here.
