Paris Avgeriou

Paris Avgeriou is a Professor of Software Engineering at the University of Groningen, affiliated with the Faculty of Science and Engineering and the Bernoulli Institute. He leads the Software Engineering and Architecture research group and serves as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Systems and Software. His expertise spans technical debt management, software architecture, self-adaptive systems, and embedded systems design. Avgeriou holds an office at Nijenborgh 9, Groningen, and actively advises academic institutions and funding bodies globally.

Research Interests: Avgeriou's work focuses on advancing software architecture principles, technical debt lifecycle management, and the integration of AI in software engineering. His research emphasizes practical solutions for improving software quality, maintainability, and system dependability, particularly in embedded and self-adaptive contexts.

Recent Contributions: Recent studies include frameworks for benefit-cost-risk decision-making in self-adaptive systems, automated technical debt management using ML, and tools for tracing architecture-related debt. He collaborates internationally, contributing to standards like the Copenhagen Manifesto for human-centered AI in software engineering.

Grants & Awards: While no specific awards are listed, his editorial role and frequent conference contributions reflect recognition in the field. He chairs conference tracks and oversees workshops, fostering early-career researchers and artifact evaluation.

Labs & Teams: His group is part of the Bernoulli Institute, working on platforms like SDK4ED for embedded systems and tools such as DebtViz for technical debt monitoring. The team explores intersections between systems engineering and software architecture in complex systems-of-systems.
