About me

I am a research assistant working in association with Siemens CT SE1 with a major research focus on product line requirements engineering. As a part of my research work, I have been developing a new technique issue-based variability modeling by viewing product line variability as the annotations orthogonal to the system models. This supports instantiation and evolution of the variation points as well as enables informal collaboration in software product line engineering. My industrial application domains include domestic appliances and infotainment systems.
