Employment History

Teaching & Supervision of Students

In the undergraduate program of our Department I teach Software Engineering and Software Development II, while in the graduate program I teach Software Development  Principles and Patterns.

At the undergraduate level I have supervised more than 17 B.Sc. Theses. Moreover,  at the graduate level, I have supervised more than 12 M.Sc. Theses and a Ph.D. Thesis. More details concerning these activities can be found here.

Publications

So far, I co-authored more than 60 publications in international journals (IEEE Tr. Soft. Eng.,IEEE Tr. Services Comp., CACM, Inf. & Soft. Technology, etc.), conferences (ICSE, FSE, ASE, ICWS, Middleware, etc.), and books. More details regarding these contributions can be found here. Moreover, some statistics concerning the impact of my contribution can be found in my Google scholar profile and in my Microsoft academic profile.
