About Me

Hi! I am Computer Science Researcher working as an Associate Professor (or Førsteamanuensis as they call it in Norwegian) at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (short: HVL).

Simulataneously, I am also employed as a part-time researcher at the University Hospital, where I am working on workflow optimization in the context of a Digitization project in Pathology, called PiV.

My PhD, I wrote on the topic of Software Interoperability and Consistency Management. The thesis openly accessible here.

Before coming to Norway, I have had positions as a software engineer at different companies in Germany (insurance and output management).

Research Interests

My research interests span various domains of Computer Science and Software Engineering with a particular focus on applications in the health care domain. One of my main goals is to turn theoretical research results into practically relevant tools and methods in order to improve the quality of software products. My focus lies on the following areas:

Interoperability and Software System Integration
Model-Driven Software Engineering and Automation
Process Modeling and Optimization
Data Management: ETL-Pipelines, Privacy, Anonymization, Governannce
Theoretical Foundations of Software Modeling: Universal Algebra and Category Theory
