My name is Daniel Graziotin.

First and foremost, I am a coffee junkie. Admitting you have a problem is the first step to fixing it. The second step is to grind some beans.

I work as an Akademischer Rat in the Empirical Software Engineering group of the Software Engineering Institute at the University of Stuttgart. Within the Empirical Software Engineering group, I am the Head of the Human Aspects of Software Engineering (HASE) division.

What I do: I try to understand humans who engage in digitalization.

This includes people working as software engineers, people using software, people managing software engineers, and people who study software engineering. It’s not an easy task.

On my website, I ramble about my research activities, which span from human and behavioral aspects of software engineering (such as the happiness of software developers) to open science and research itself. Here you can read more about me or contact me. Sometimes, I post what I call technical articles, which are summaries of solutions to problems I had. Perhaps you’ll find them useful, too.

News

• I am honored to serve as the General Chair for the 16th International Conference on Cooperative and Human Aspects of Software Engineering (CHASE 2024).

• Marvin Muñoz Barón has recently presented our ICSE 2023 paper, Evidence Profiles for Validity Threats in Program Comprehension Experiments, which bridges criminal investigation techniques and software engineering to broaden our understanding of validity threats in code comprehension experiments.

• I have established an independent sub-group within the Empirical Software Engineering group, Institute of Software Technology, University of Stuttgart. As Head of the division for Human Aspects of Software Engineering (HASE), I promote bright early career researchers in all fields of behavioral and human aspects of software engineering and its education.
