Teaching

• Business Process Management (Spring 2022)
• Process Mining (Spring 2021)
• Topics for Bachelor and Master theses

I am a co-author of the textbook Fundamentals of Business Process Management (see also the companion web site) and co-instructor of two MOOCs: Business Process Management: An Introduction to Process Thinking and Fundamentals of BPM.

Research

• Business Process Management: analysing and building software systems starting from models of how an organisation works, also called business process models
  
• Service-Oriented Computing: analysing and building software systems based on the metaphor of "software as a service", usually on top of Web technology.

Note to prospective PhD students. I always welcome expressions of interest from prospective PhD students (and also from prospective postdocs). If you have a strong background in algorithms, machine learning and/or optimization, you are a deep thinker, and you are passionate about applying your skills and deep thinking to solve relevant problems, please contact me.
