Bio

Hakan Erdogmus is a Teaching Professor of Software Engineering with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Prior to joining CMU, he was an independent consultant and a senior research officer at the National Research Council in Ottawa, Canada. Dr. Erdogmus has published and lectured extensively in his areas of specialization: economics of software engineering, value-based software engineering, agile software development, test-driven development, empirical studies of software engineering practices, and software process measurement and improvement. He is co-editor of two volumes, Advances in Software Engineering: Comprehension, Evaluation and Evolution and Value-Based Software Engineering, both published by Springer. Dr. Erdogmus served as Editor in Chief of IEEE Software and an associate editor of the Journal of Empirical Software Engineering. He was an Erasmus Mundus at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain. He helped organize numerous international conferences and workshops in leading roles, including XP 2010 and 2004, CASCON 1997 and 2006, and ICSE JSEET 2021. Dr. Erdogmus is a recipient of the Eugene L. Grant Award from the American Society for Engineering Education. At CMU, he received the Dean’s Early Career Award and the Dowd Fellowship for his contributions to the founding of ECE’s MS in Software Engineering program in the Silicon Valley Campus. He was the principal investigator of a large DHS-funded project that helped shape the next generation of the Wireless Emergency Service in the US. 

Dr. Erdogmus received his PhD degree in Telecommunications from INRS-Université du Québec (Montreal), his MSc degree from McGill University‘s School of Computer Science (Montreal), and his BSc degree from Bogaziçi University‘s Computer Engineering Department (Istanbul). He is a Senior Member of IEEE and a Golden Core member of IEEE Computer Society. He chaired the Society’s Transactions Operations Committee and served on its Board of Governors.
