Publications

My research focuses on the engineering of complex, long-lasting, software-intensive systems within various application domains in an integrated approach with different disciplines. I have experience in software language engineering, the engineering of digital twins, and the model-driven software engineering of information and assistive systems. Please see further publications in my Google scholar or Researchgate profile.

For more information about the research of the Software Engineering group at RWTH Aachen University, please have a look at

My PhD thesis in the Application Engineering group (Prof. Heinrich C. Mayr) at AAU, Austria, was about cognitive modelling for assistive systems.
