Short Biography

Dr. Bedir Tekinerdogan received his MSc degree in Computer Science in 1994, and a PhD degree in Computer Science in 2000, both from the University of Twente, The Netherlands.  From September 2003 until September 2008 he served as an assistant professor at University of Twente. Currently he is a faculty member at Bilkent University in Turkey. He received the rank of Associate Professor from the Turkish Inter-University Council (UAK) in June 2010

He has around 20 years of professional experience in software engineering research and education. His key research topic is software architecture design, and related to this software product line engineering, model-driven software development, enterprise architecture, aspect-oriented software development, and global software development.  He has been active in many different national and international research and consultancy projects with various software engineering companies such as Philips (The Netherlands), NXP (The Netherlands), Embedded Systems Institute (The Netherlands), Thales BV (The Netherlands), Siemens Nixdorf (The Netherlands), Havelsan (Turkey), Aselsan (Turkey), Meteksan Defence (Turkey), Cybersoft (Turkey, TAI (Turkey), STM (Turkey), SSM (Turkey), Arcelik (Turkey), Vestel (Turkey) and many small to medium enterprises.

He is the author of more than 170 scientific publications on different topics in software engineering, holding h-index of 20 (Google Scholar, third highest in the department).

From 1994 on, he has developed and taught courses on different topics in software engineering including software architecture design, aspect-oriented software development, model-driven software development, software product line engineering, software verification and validation, object-oriented programming, object-oriented analysis and design, and object-oriented design patterns. In Turkey, he has pioneered the introduction of various academic software engineering courses such as software architecture design (2002), aspect-oriented software development (2002), model-driven software development (2008) and software product line engineering (2008). He has given dozens of courses to software companies.

He is the founder and leader of the Bilkent Software Engineering Group (Bilsen) which aims to foster research and education on software engineering in Turkey.
