Previously
2009-2009 I used to be a post-doctoral researcher at Christian Doppler Laboratory for Automated Software Engineering. More about my research@JKU.
2006-2009 I used to be a lecturer at institute of systems engineering and automation, and institute for system software.
2006-2009 I used to be a PhD Student at the Johannes Kepler University, Linz. Within the scope of my Ph.D. research I developed and evaluated innovative methods and tools supporting variability modelling and management of software product lines.
