*ABOUT ME
Who I am & what I do
Sven Peldszus
In December 2021, I joined the Chair of Software Engineering at the Ruhr University Bochum as a post-doctoral researcher and have been working as a research assistant at the Institute for Software Technology at the University of Koblenz-Landau since 2016. During my doctorate, I visited the joint computer science department of the Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg in Sweden as well as the Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands as a visiting researcher. I wrote my dissertation on security compliance in the model-driven development of software systems in the presence of long-term evolution and variants at the University of Koblenz-Landau. My dissertation has been awarded with the CAST/GI dissertation award for the best German dissertation in the domain of IT security and was also nominated as finalist for the Ernst Denert software engineering award. I completed my master’s degree at the Technical University of Darmstadt. My research interests include the continuous tracing of non-functional requirements over the entire software life cycle as well as model-based software quality analysis in variant-rich systems.
