I am a postdoc (tenure track) in the Software Engineering Group (SERG) led by Prof. Martin Pinzger at the University of Klagenfurt. I received my MSc from the Technical University Vienna in March 2015 and my PhD from the University of Klagenfurt in 2019 both with distinction. My research interests include software evolution, mining software repositories, program analysis, build systems, continuous integration, automated repair, and empirical studies in software engineering.
