About me
I am currently an Oberassistant/Senior Researcher at University of Zurich, working with Prof. Harald Gall.
Starting in April 2026, I will join the University of Mannheim as Professor, where I will lead the Sustainable Software Engineering Group. My research focuses on developing sustainable software systems and equipping developers with tools and methodologies to reduce environmental impact while improving the long-term quality, maintainability, and resilience of software systems.
Previously, I worked as a Senior researcher with Prof. Alberto Bacchelli, and as a Postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Timo Kehrer. I received my PhD (with honors) from the Software Composition Group at University of Bern under the supervision of Prof. Oscar Nierstrasz and Dr. Sebastiano Panichella.
I also bring substantial industry experience in software engineering, having worked as a Software Engineer in testing in Samsung, as an Automation Engineer in VMware, and as a Software Developer in People Interactive Ltd. These experiences allow me to approach software engineering challenges from both academic and industrial perspectives.
