Research

My research in software engineering centers around the following topics:

• Performance Engineering:
  How to build responsive and efficient software systems?

• Reliability Engineering:
  How to build reliable software systems?

• Empirical Software Engineering
  How to validate that a new method improves state-of-the-art?

• Software Architecture
  How to improve fundamental design decisions about software systems?
