From 2009 to 2016, Dustin did his PhD in the Requirements Engineering Research Group (RERG) at the University of Zurich about the topic of flexible modeling.

From 2016 to 2017, he was a postdoctoral researcher at RERG. Until 2022, he held a guest affiliation with RERG, taking care of the FlexiSketch project.

A short introduction to Dustin’s research can be found here: Flexible Requirements Modeling.

His interests include requirements engineering, multimedia, software/program visualization, and human computer interaction. I also like to explore how innovative input devices can be used for working in, e.g., the requirements engineering domain. Such devices include multi-touch tables, pen-based input, the Apple IPhone, Microsoft Kinect, Nintendo WiiMote, etc.

More information about the FlexiSketch tool can be found here: FlexiSketch.
