Dr. Berhe has been developing software since 2001 and completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Software Engineering in 2011 from the University of Connecticut. His industry responsibility afterwards includes developing, coordinating, and leading Industry 4.0 software systems in various domains such as health care, automotive, retail, and e-mobility. His teaching interests include software engineering, database systems, and mobile application development. In research, Dr. Berhe currently focuses on modeling software ecosystems, particularly in risk assessment for maintenance efforts. His prior research explored secure software engineering in patient-centered clinical ecosystems, emphasizing the process from model to code generation.
