Franz Zieris
I am a software engineering researcher working at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) in Sweden. I am interested in understanding human factors with qualitative research approaches.
New position
2023-03-01 I just joined the Department of Software Engineering at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) in Karlskrona, Sweden as a Associate Senior Lecturer.
Presenting @ ICSE'21
2021-06-26 Today, I presented our paper "Two Elements of Pair Programming Skill" in the NIER track (New Ideas and Emerging Results) at ICSE 2021 (International Conference of Software Engineering). You can find the video on YouTube.
Ernst Denert Software Engineering Award 2020
2021-02-26 I received the Ernst Denert Software Engineering Award 2020 for my PhD thesis!
Presenting @ SE'21
2021-02-25 Today, I presented our ICSE'20 paper "Explaining Pair Programming Session Dynamics from Knowledge Gaps" at the German Software Engineering conference (SE). Here are the slides.
