My research
Diverse, but focused
In my research, I like to study a variety of topics, applying various research and evaluation methods, and producing various types of research contributions, summarized in the picture below.

In order to make sure that I keep a certain focus and that I build a specific expertise, they are all related to the common underlying theme of "Data-driven process improvement". Below is an overview of all the topics, described with the same template:
Improve <a certain process> based on <certain data> by developing <certain artefacts>
- Process of Process Modeling
- PPMChart visualization: Improve a PPM research process based on recorded modeling data by developing a visualization with tool support
(Main publication: ISEB 13(1) - 2015)
