Research

We are dedicated to advancing the field of software engineering especially in the context of computational science, also known as Research Software Engineering (RSE). Our work encompasses a wide range of areas, including: software quality in science, FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) software, the role of software in Open Science, as well as computational workflows and their automated construction. Collaboration with researchers from other disciplines (including bioinformatics, geosciences, and more) is essential to our work.

Funded projects in this area inlude: 

• FONDA Subproject A7, "Semantic Composition and Validation of Interacting DAWs in Computational Materials Science" (2024-2028, funded by the German Research Foundation)
• FONDA Subproject C2, "Early Workflow Design: From Collaborative Scientific Problem-Solving to DAW Specifications" (2024-2028, funded by the German Research Foundation)
• TopoToolBox3 (2024-2026, funded by the German Research Foundation)
• Workflomics (2022-2025, funded by the Netherlands eScience Center)
• VERSECLOUD (2021-2024, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research)
