Bio

Leon Moonen is a senior research scientist at Simula Research Laboratory. His research aims at creating better techniques and tools to support the understanding, assessment and evolution of large industrial software systems. This involves the combination of several subfields of software engineering, such as program comprehension, reverse engineering, program analysis, software visualization and empirical software engineering. Dr. Moonen has published over 90 scientific papers (2377 citations, h-index: 25) and serves on steering- and program committees of international conferences on software maintenance (ICSM), reverse engineering (WCRE), program understanding (ICPC), and source code analysis (SCAM) and has (co-)organized various workshops in these areas. Before moving to Simula, he was assistent professor Software Engineering at Delft University of Technology where he taught courses on software evolution and software architecture. He has been advisor to 5 PhD students, 2 Post-docs and 17 MSc students. During his PhD, he co-founded the Software Improvement Group, a company that specializes in the use of source code analysis to help organizations get control over their software systems, and currently employs over 65 people. Dr Moonen received his MSc (cum laude, Computer Science, 1996) and PhD (Computer Science, 2002) from the University of Amsterdam. He is a member of ACM, IEEE Computer Society, EAPLS and the ERCIM Working Group on Software Evolution.
