Biography
Barbara Paech holds the chair „Software Engineering“ at Heidelberg University. She got her PhD from LMU München and her Habilitation from TU München. Her teaching and research focuses on methods and processes to ensure the quality of software with adequate effort. For many years, she has been particularly active in the areas of requirements, rationale and quality engineering. Based on her experience as department head at the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (IESE), her research is often empirical and in close cooperation with industry. She headed several industrial, national, and international research and transfer projects and served in several functions (including speaker of invited talks, program co-chair, steering committee member) at well-known requirements engineering events such as RE or REFSQ. She has been spokeswoman of the section “Software Engineering” of the German Informatics Society for 6 years and head of the advisory board of study affairs of the representation of German Computer Science study programs “Fakultätentag Informatik” for 5 years. She is a founding member of the International Requirements Engineering Board (IREB).
