About

I am Professor Michel Albonico, an Associate Professor of Software Engineering at the Centre of Software Technology, University of Southern Denmark (SDU), in Vejle, Denmark.

My research focuses on sustainable software engineering for cyber-physical systems, especially robotics. I am particularly interested in projects based on the Robot Operating System (ROS), where the main goal is to improve the software development process and the quality, reliability, and energy efficiency of robotic software systems.

Over the years, I have worked on topics such as software architecture for robotics, empirical software engineering, software quality, software energy consumption, technical debt, mining software repositories, and AI-assisted software development.

I lead and collaborate on international research initiatives related to sustainable and efficient robotics software, often combining software engineering methods with machine learning and large language models.

Before joining SDU, I was an Associate Professor at the Federal University of Technology – Paraná (UTFPR), Brazil, where I taught courses in software engineering, distributed programming, software architecture, requirements engineering, validation and maintenance, and software construction.

Outside research, I enjoy teaching, mentoring students, and helping bridge the gap between software engineering research and industrial (robotics) practice.
