Torsten Bandyszak

Torsten Bandyszak is a full-time associate researcher and External PhD Student at the Software Systems Engineering (SSE) group within paluno - The Ruhr Institute for Software Technology, University of Duisburg-Essen. He has been with SSE since 2018, following prior student roles at the group (2011-2013) and industry experience in steel production (2008-2010).

His academic background includes a B.Sc. in Information Systems and an M.Sc. in Applied Computer Science from the University of Duisburg-Essen.

Bandyszak's research focuses on Requirements Engineering and Software Quality Assurance for collaborative cyber-physical systems (CPS), with pioneering work in uncertainty modeling and trustworthiness maintenance. He has developed extensions to goal modeling frameworks (i*, GRL) specifically for CPS collaboration and created classification schemes like EURECA for runtime uncertainty handling. His methodology emphasizes industrial validation through case studies in automation and embedded systems.

Analysis of his publication trajectory (2014-2023) reveals a shift from foundational trustworthiness research toward advanced uncertainty modeling in CPS, characterized by increasing industry collaboration and runtime-focused solutions. The interdisciplinary nature of his work bridges software engineering, systems theory, and real-time computing.

As an integral member of the SSE research team, Bandyszak collaborates extensively with colleagues including Marian Daun and Thorsten Weyer on projects addressing CPS engineering challenges, frequently incorporating industrial partner feedback into model-based approaches.
