Kadiray Karakaya successfully completed his doctorate on the topic of "Scalable Data-Flow Analysis through Sparsification and Precise Call Graphs" with Prof Dr Eric Bodden.
Static data-flow analysis aims to ensure bug-free, secure, and quality software by accounting for all possible executions of a target programme. Due to scalability constraints, this often entails sound over-approximations that compromise analysis precision. On the other hand,…
Our workgroup "Secure Software Engineering" is happy to welcome its new research associate Rose Sunil to its team!
Rose works in the SOSA research project under Prof. Dr. Eric Bodden and her research focuses on self-optimising static analysis and investigations and how static analysis tools can automatically adapt and improve their performance.
Outside of work, Rose enjoys travelling the world and reading books. She also lives creatively -…

Welcome, Sriteja!
Our "Software Resilience" workgroup is growing!
Kamel Abdelsalam has received a DAAD scholarship and will work as a scholarship holder in our "Software Resilience" workgroup led by Junior Professor Dr Mohamed Soliman. In his research, he is investigating how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be used to recognise and extract Architectural Knowledge (AK) in software systems. The aim is to overcome the phenomenon of AK vaporisation. The long-term…
Massively parallel processor architectures are a special form of highly scalable parallel computing units with local memory. The Grid-of-Processing-Cell (GPC) architecture was introduced by Prof Rainer Dömer (University of California Irvine) in 2022 on the basis of abstract processor cells. This architecture was initially analysed by him on the basis of abstract simulations of the hardware and software with regard to scalability and performance…
Analysing the impact of changes with Model-Based Systems Engineering – Dr. Dominik Wiechel shows how it is done in his dissertation! During his time our “Product Creation” workgroup, Dr. Dominik Wiechel developed a methodology for ‘model-based effect chain analysis for the evaluation of technical changes’. He performed his research in the BMBF project ImPaKT and in direct collaboration with automotive OEMs. Congratulations on the successful…
Our workgroup "Product Creation" welcomes its new research associate Julius Goldstein.
Julius is part of the DFG Priority Programme 2443 "Hybrid Decision Support in Product Creation" and is researching insights into how hybrid decision support can improve the performance of product creation.
Julius is very keen on sport in his spare time. He is particularly enthusiastic about football, which he played actively for a long time. As a hunter,…
Our researchers are unique. Here they introduce themselves and show their very personal side behind the scientific work.
Sarah Pinno:
"During my Bachelor's and Master's degree in International Business Studies at Paderborn University, I was drawn to San Diego State University, USA, to gain experience abroad. This time in an international environment not only gave me exciting professional impulses, but also had a lasting impact on my personal…
Regulations are becoming stricter, resources are becoming scarcer and society's demand for sustainability is growing. At the same time, industrial companies are faced with the challenge of designing their products and processes in such a way that they meet the requirements of a circular economy - without jeopardising their competitiveness.
This is precisely where the GoProZero research project comes in. Under the leadership of our "Advanced…
In our "Advanced Systems Engineering" workgroup, we have a vacancy for a research assistant (f/m/d) | Strategic Product Planning to be filled as soon as possible.
Research project on target systems in cross-generational product portfolio design | Development of methodological approaches for the description and design of target systems | Collaboration with industrial partners and prototypical evaluation | Publication of the results |…
The orientation week ended on a creative and team-spirited note for around 60 first-year students at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering: invited by our “Product Creation” workgroup, nine teams competed against each other in a crane-building competition in the foyer of the Heinz Nixdorf Institute. Equipped with cardboard, scissors, and glue, the task was to design the most stable and economical crane – and to actually build it. Amid delicious…
People exchange information via speech. The person speaking uses the mouth and vocal tract to generate a speech signal that consists of many superimposed vibrations. Depending on the linguistic content to be conveyed, the vocal tract is specifically adapted. As the vocal tract differs from person to person, the speech signals produced also differ, even if the spoken content is the same.
These individual differences are recorded in so-called…
ChatGPT, Dall-E and co. are already changing the way companies work. Generative and multimodal artificial intelligence will have an impact on almost every industry in the foreseeable future. The WestAI AI Service Centre, in which our "Communications Engineering" workgroup is involved, provides support for the use of artificial intelligence in practice. From the provision of AI expertise and initial advice on AI ideas and their feasibility testing…

Keno Pape:
"I studied industrial engineering at Paderborn University, specialising in mechanical engineering. A lot of things were still abstract back then. When I switched to the Master's degree programme in Mechanical Engineering, things became more concrete: more freedom in terms of specialisation, clear applications - and…
Designing processes and advance them by robotics: In the course “Applied Production Engineering,” students apply lean production in practice. Students gain experience in the Smart Innovation Laboratory of our “Product Creation” workgroup by systematically identifying losses, applying principles of Lean Thinking – and, at the same time, solving challenges of project management under time pressure. The results speak for themselves: The cobot…
