Yannic is a professor at the Faculty of Computer Science at the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) and leads the chair for Software Quality. His research focuses on how software quality can be maintained and improved with automated testing and repair technologies. His general research goal is to shape the future of software development by contributing to the domain of automated software engineering and providing the means to develop reliable, trustworthy, and secure software systems. Before joining RUB in July 2024, Yannic was an Assistant Professor at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He pursued his Ph.D. in Computer Science in the Software Engineering group (advised by Prof. Lars Grunske) at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany. His Ph.D. research focused on differential software testing, in particular, by combining fuzzing and symbolic execution in the context of regression analysis, algorithmic complexity analysis, side-channel analysis, and robustness analysis of neural networks.
