I am an Assistant Professor in software engineering at the University of Gothenburg, working at the intersection of software engineering, IT security, and machine learning. 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.

Before, I have been working as assistant professor at IT University of Copenhagen, as a post-doctoral researcher at Ruhr University Bochum and as a research associate at the Institute for Software Technology at the University of Koblenz-Landau. 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.
