Bonorden's research centers on API evolution and deprecation processes, with particular focus on how deprecated web APIs can be detected through tracing techniques. His work bridges theoretical software engineering with practical applications in API design and documentation. He has developed expertise in systematic mapping studies of API deprecation practices and their impact on software maintenance.
His publication record demonstrates consistent focus on API-related research, with multiple systematic studies and empirical analyses. He has also contributed significantly to software reengineering knowledge through the SREBOK initiative and explored innovative educational approaches for teaching software engineering concepts through research-based learning.
- Active member of Software Engineering and Construction Methods research group
- Contributor to German Informatics Society's software reengineering special interest group
- Member of ACM, GI (Gesellschaft für Informatik), and DMV professional organizations
Bonorden serves on multiple university committees including the Committee for Teaching and Studies, Building Committee, Faculty Council, and various examination boards for computer science programs. His teaching portfolio includes Software Design, Introduction to Software Engineering, and Bachelor Seminars in Software Engineering at both University of Hamburg and TU Berlin.
