Personal profile
Description of research and teaching
I hold a Doctor of Science (Technology) degree in Software Engineering and the title of Docent in Computer Science.
My research background and interests lie in empirical research at the intersection of software engineering and business, with a particular focus on requirements engineering and software architecture.
Our research centers on examining the construction, maintenance, and communication of envisioned digital services, as well as their interactions. We conduct empirical research relevant to both academia and practical applications, with the focus on the value and dependability of digital services. Recently, artificial intelligence, MLOps, and Large Foundational Model (LFM) technologies have become increasingly important for numerous domains, and they represent new and compelling opportunities and focus areas.
