Biography
Employed at the University of Skövde since 2000. Got the students award for the best teacher at the school of Humanities and Informatics, Guldäpplet 2012. Current Program coordinator for the study program Computer Science - Specialization in Systems Development Course coordinator for a course in software testing and the final year project in informatics (BSc) Other: Software Engineering (BSc), Scientific theory (MSc and PhD) and several final year projects at BSc and MSc level Previous Responsible for the topic Computer Science at BSc and MSc level (2005-2010) Program coordinator for the study programs in Web Development and System programming Course coordinator for Concurrent programming (BSc), Cloud Computing (MSc), Software testing (advanced) and Distributed real-time systems (MSc) Other: Embedded Systems (BSc), Research and Development (BSc) Research 2015 - present, research leader for the DRTS (Distributed Real-Time Systems) research group 2000 - present, senior member of the DRTS (Distributed Real-Time Systems) research group Projects 2017-2020 ELVIRA (member). ELVIRA is a EU / ISF project focusing on protection of critical infrastructures, in particular the power grid system. 2013 - 2018, TOCSYC (program manager). TOCSYC is a SIDUS project sponsored by KKS (30 MSEK). TOCSYC is a joint effort together with Mälardalen University, Swedish Instititute of Computer Science, Blekinge Institute of Technology and Karlstad University to address testing of non-functional characteristics such as performance efficiency, robustness and testability. 2013 - 2015, PILOT (project leader). A NFFP6 project sponsored by Vinnova (3,25 MSEK)and Saab Aeronautics (3,25 MSEK). This problem addresses the problem of combining model-driven development with the metrics for software testing that should be used in safety-critical systems such as avionics. 2012 - 2013, TOCSYC. A SIDUS step 1 project sponsored by Vinnova (0,5 MSEK). This was a joint effort between four universities and one institute to prepare an application for SIDUS step 2. 2011 - 2013, Platform Independent Software Testing (project leader). A NFFP5 project sponsored by Vinnova (3,3 MSEK) and Saab Aeronautics (3,3 MSEK). 2000-2009, Testability in Dynamic Real-Time Systems (PhD student). An ARTES project in collaboration with Enea.
