I was invited and found the projects relevant and interesting.
What are the benefits you see in WASP?
WASP provides a very good environment for PhD students with many opportunities to network with peers and meet relevant experts within Sweden and abroad.
Briefly describe your research topic.
My topic is empirical software engineering (SE). I study and improve SE practices in the field. My main focus is how to provide operative decision support for quality assurance activities.
In what way can your research be of importance to our society in the future?
As our society gets increasingly dependent on software and our software systems continue to grow in scale and complexity, there is an urgent need for tools and practices supporting the application of rigorous monitoring processes and assuring the quality of those systems.
