About Me
Hey, I am Martin, a computer scientist, research assistant, and Ph.D. candidate in the Software Engineering group of Prof. Lars Grunske at the Humboldt-Universität Zu Berlin, Germany, and recently, I visited the research group of Prof. Andreas Zeller at the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security in Saarbrücken, Germany. My research interests lie in automated software engineering focusing on software testing, vulnerability detection, and fuzzing.
I am currently working on the project EMPEROR, which aims to automatically produce explanations for program behaviors - most notably, program failures. By learning and refining predictive and generative models, we will be able to infer and refine relationships involving arbitrary input features and thus boost our understanding of how and why software behaves as it does.
