Stefan Winter

Stefan Winter is a postdoctoral researcher and software engineer at LMU Munich, Germany, with a Ph.D. (Dr.-Ing.) in computer science from TU Darmstadt. He focuses on software dependability, particularly addressing non-deterministic behavior in software systems, such as flaky tests and reproducibility challenges in experimental research.

• Education: Ph.D. (Dr.-Ing.) in Computer Science from TU Darmstadt under Prof. Neeraj Suri.
• Current Role: Researcher at LMU Munich in Dirk Beyer’s group.

His research spans test automation, robustness testing, fault injection, and operating systems, with a recent emphasis on mitigating flaky tests and ensuring deterministic software behavior. His work has been published in venues like ASE, ESEC/FSE, and ICSE.

Stefan actively contributes to the academic community as a committee member, artifact evaluation co-chair, and session chair across conferences such as ECOOP, ISSTA, and SPLASH. He maintains expertise in reproducibility, experimental validity, and software testing frameworks.
