About
I am a Professor of Software Engineering at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, where I lead the Software Engineering Group. I am also an Adjunct Professor at the University of Adelaide, Australia, where I previously worked as a Continuing Lecturer of Software Engineering. Before re-joining academia, I worked in the software industry for 3.5 years, first as a Senior Software Developer at QAware GmbH and then later as a Principal Expert for Empirical Software Engineering at SAP SE.

Short Bio
Sebastian Baltes is a Professor of Software Engineering at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Adelaide, Australia. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Trier, Germany, in 2019 and worked in the software industry for 3.5 years before moving back academia. Prof. Baltes’ research focuses on software analytics, that is, processing, analyzing, and visualizing software engineering data to monitor, govern, and improve software development processes and tools. He is further interested in interdisciplinary research and methodological aspects of empirical software engineering. For him, thoroughly analyzing and understanding the state-of-practice is an essential first step towards improving how software is being developed. Prof. Baltes’ vision is that software engineering becomes more evidence-based, which is only possible if academic researchers provide actionable insights on topics that are relevant to practitioners. His research has been published in leading software engineering venues, including ICSE, FSE, TSE, and EMSE. He was awarded a Google Faculty Research Award in 2020 and two the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award in 2021 and 2023. For more information, visit https://empirical-software.engineering.
