Eray Tüzün is an Associate Professor of Computer Engineering at Bilkent University in Turkey, where he leads the Bilkent University Software Engineering and Data Analytics Research Group (BILSEN). With over 20 years of experience in software design and development spanning both academia and industry, he bridges theoretical research with practical software engineering applications. His educational background includes bachelor's and master's degrees in Computer Science and a PhD in Information Systems. Before joining Bilkent University, he accumulated substantial industry experience including 9 years at HAVELSAN (serving as Productization Lead, Academy Manager, Product Owner, and Software Engineer), plus roles at Microsoft as a Software Design Engineer in the Online Services group, Senior Software Engineer at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and Research Engineer at CWRU Genomics Center. His professional certifications include Certified Product Manager, MCSD: Application Lifecycle Management, Professional Scrum Master (PSM), and Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO). Tüzün's research focuses on several interconnected areas including Software Product Line Engineering , Empirical Software Engineering , Gamification , Software Engineering Education , DevOps & Agile Software Development , and Bioinformatics . His empirical approach involves mining software repositories to analyze development practices, identify patterns, and propose improvements. Recent work increasingly examines the intersection of AI and software engineering, particularly how large language models can enhance code review and comment quality. His research output shows clear trends toward analyzing code quality metrics, identifying 'smells' in development processes, and applying data analytics to software engineering practices. Key themes include bus factor estimation for measuring knowledge concentration in software projects, empirical studies of code review processes, continuous integration practices, and issue tracking systems in open source projects. Tüzün is a senior member of IEEE and an active member of ACM SIGSOFT and IEEE Computer Society. He represents Bilkent University in the International Software Engineering Research Network (ISERN), connecting his research with the global software engineering community. His service to the field includes program committee roles at major conferences such as ASE, ICSE, ESEC/FSE, and ESEM, with leadership positions including PC Co-Chair for ICSSP 2020 and Industry Track Co-Chair for EASE 2023. As head of the BILSEN research group, he mentors graduate students and collaborates on projects that bridge theoretical research with practical applications. His research has been consistently published in top-tier software engineering venues over the past decade, demonstrating both continuity in core research areas and adaptation to emerging trends like AI-assisted software development.
