Daniel Strüber

Engineering methods for complex and intelligent software systems

I am a member of the Software Engineering group at Chalmers and University of Gothenburg, Sweden. I am also affiliated with the Department of Software Science at Radboud University, Netherlands. My research develops rigorous yet practical techniques that help developers build software that is correct, maintainable and trustworthy — from robotic systems to machine learning pipelines.
