Martin Pinzger, Prof. Dr.

I am a Full Professor of Software Engineering at the Universität Klagenfurt, Austria. I am leading the Software Engineering Research Group and heading the Department of Informatics Systems. I received a MSc (Dipl. Ing.) in 2001 and PhD (Dr. techn.) in 2005 in informatics from the Vienna University of Technology. I was a Postdoc in the Software Evolution and Architecture Lab at the University of Zurich and an Assistant Professor in the Software Engineering Research Group at the Delft University of Technology from which I received tenure in 2012. In 2012, I won a prestigious NWO Vidi grant for my research proposal on recording and analysis of fine-grained code changes. In 2013, I received an ICSE 2013 ACM SIGSOFT distinguished paper award for our work on data clone detection in spreadsheets and the ICSM 2013 most influential paper award for our work on the release history database. In 2014, I received the ICSME 2014 best paper award for our work on a genetic algorithm to refactor fat Java interfaces. I am a member of ACM and a senior member of IEEE.

My research focuses on investigating methods, techniques, and tools to support the development and evolution of software systems. My current topics of interest are:

• AI for software engineering
• Mining Software Repositories
• Program Analysis
• Software visualization

I am always on the lookout for PhD and Master Students with strong technical and research skills for doing a PhD or Master’s Thesis with me. See wanted for more information or drop me an email.
