RE4ES Workshop Organization

Organizing Committee

Verena Klös

Verena Klös

Technical University Dresden, Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (CeTI), Germany

Verena Klös is a junior professor of Computer Science, specifically Tactile Computing at Technical University Dresden. She received her PhD from Technical University Berlin in 2020. In her phd thesis, she developed a framework for safe, intelligent and explainable self-adaptive systems. Currently, her research focuses on explainability of autonomous and cyber-physical systems.

Maike Schwammberger

Maike Schwammberger

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany

Maike Schwammberger is a junior professor at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, chairing the group „Modelling and Analysis in Mobility Software Engineering“. She received her PhD from Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg in 2020. Her research focuses on the specification and analysis of various aspects of autonomous traffic maneuvers. One of her research topics is to make autonomous systems more understandable through self-explainability by, e.g., generating and verifying explanations from system specifications.
Mersedeh Sadeghi

Mersedeh Sadeghi

University of Cologne, Germany

Mersedeh Sadeghi received a master’s degree and a PhD in Computer Science from the Politecnico di Milano. Currently, she is pursuing her postdoctoral research at the University of Cologne. Her research activity particularly is focused on various aspects of software engineering of distributed systems such as transportation domain, smart cities and pervasive computing. Her main research interest includes software engineering and the explainability of context-aware pervasive systems.
