Statement on Impact

The ambition to make practically relevant contributions permeates my work. Since measuring relevant impact is hard, a qualitative reflection is needed. In my view, the primary way to make an impact on practice is through students. By teaching courses and supervising MSc thesis projects, I share knowledge and inspire future engineers to create value through high-quality software.

Measurable impact includes:
- Teaching introductory software engineering to students on a yearly basis. Responsible for introducing the topic to ~700 students (2015-2022).
- Advisor of 28 thesis students (2011-2022).
- Co-supervisor of two PhD students (2017-2022)
- Work on machine learning for automated bug assignment saves time at Ericsson.
- Co-author and/or contributor to reports and letters from Swedsoft.
- A co-authored paper on practical relevance of software engineering research.
