I am a Research Assistant at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences where I am working on the EU Horizon project COSMOS (“DevOps for Complex Cyber-physical Systems”). I studied at the University of Zurich Software Systems with Applied Probability and Statistics as a minor subject. Currently, I am pursuing a master’s degree in Software Systems with Data Science as a minor subject at the University of Zurich.
During my studies, I mainly focused on software testing. My research interests are search-based software testing and fuzzing. In my ongoing work, I am investigating the area of software testing and testing in virtual environments combined with the development of tools to solve the problems in my research area. A prominent example is SDC-Scissor (github.com/ChristianBirchler/sdc-scissor), which is a tool that leverages the test selection part of the regression testing process for self-driving cars software. My vision is to provide a regression testing framework that also includes test prioritization for simulation-based testing of cyber-physical systems.
