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, aspect-oriented software development, and global software development.  He has been active in 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) and Cybersoft (Turkey). He has been a reviewer of around 50 academic and industrial software projects.

He is the author of more than 150 scientific publications on different topics in software engineering, holding h-index of 20 (Google Scholar).

He has been the organizer of more than 50 workshops and served on the program committees and organising committees for conferences and workshops related to aspect-oriented software development, software architecture design, global software development, service-oriented modeling, model-driven software development, and software product line engineering. He is a steering committee member of the so-called Early Aspect-Oriented Software Development Group (since 2004). In Turkey, he has been the principal initiator of the Biannual National Software Architecture Design Conferences (started in 2005), the National Aspect-Oriented Workshop Series (started in 2003), the National Model-Driven Software Development Workshop Series (started in 2008), and the National Software Product-Line Engineering Workshop Series (started in 2012). He is the steering committee chair of the Turkish Software Architecture Group (since 2006).

From 1994 on, he has taught courses on different topics in software engineering including software architecture design, aspect-oriented software development, model-driven software development, software product line engineering, 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.
