I am currently serving as a research associate at FHNW (University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Northwestern Switzerland) within the Institute for Interactive Technologies.

I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Bern, specifically from the Software Composition Group under the guidance of Prof. Oscar Nierstrasz. My work primarily focuses on requirements engineering, with a keen interest in engaging various stakeholders in the software development process by providing them with a minimal number of tools complemented by the appropriate interfaces.
