I'm a Post-doctoral Researcher at the Applied Software Engineering research group (University of Hamburg)
Research

I'm interested in various aspects of software and requirements engineering, such as:

  • developers' affect, behaviours, and cognition,
  • community-driven software development,
  • agile testing.

My work focuses on empirical methodologies. I have strong expertise in:

  • designing, executing, and analyzing controlled experiments to evaluate software development processes and tools,
  • applying machine learning and natural language processing to software development artifacts.

I am currently involved in the H2020 project OpenReq to develop intelligent recommendation technologies for requirements engineering. Previously, I investigated the effects of applying test-driven development in close collaboration with industry.

I'm enthusiastic about open (research) data and open science
