Short Bio

I have moved to Chalmers. Please see my new Web page there.

 

I am currently a Senior Research Associate at the Software Architecture and Evolution Lab in the University of Zurich. I hold a PhD degree from Vienna University of Technology (in business informatics, focussing on cost-aware service composition), and lead a team of 7 working to understand how and why software developers use cloud systems, and to support them with better methods, techniques, and tools for cloud development, deployment and debugging. I have published upwards of 75 peer-reviewed publications, leading to an h-index of 24 as tracked by Google Scholar.
