Welcome!

I am a full professor at University Trier, Germany.. My main research areas are software engineering and information visualization, and in particular the intersection of both areas, nameley software visualization. My research can be briefly characterized as follows:
  • applying techniques from compiler design like program transformations and analyses in other areas.
  • applying (visual) data mining techniques to analyse software evolution.
  • developing new ways to visualize the change of structured information over time.
For more details see the webpage of my research group .
I am a member of ACM, IEEE, and GI, the steering committee of the ACM Symposium series on Software Visualization, as well as of the steering committee of the IEEE working conference series on Mining Software Repositories MSR. Since 2007 I am a member of the scientific directorate of Schloss Dagstuhl -- Leibniz-Center for Informatics
