About Me
I’m a former professional programmer now researching program comprehension and programmer expertise with fMRI, eye tracking and other psycho-physiological measures. While I currently work at the Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology in Magdeburg, I’m enrolled as a PhD Student at the Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany.
In my free time, I published 200+ technical tutorials on Future Studio and 70+ videos on programming topics on YouTube.
News
- Our paper on reading order was accepted as ICPC! I will be attending ICSE/ICPC in South Korea in October.
