Baran Shajari and Feyi Adesanya have successfully defended their theses and graduated from our program with an MSc in Computer Science degree.
Baran’s thesis “On the Need for Individual Sustainability in Digital Technology: Positioning Human Factors as Core Software Quality Attributes for Long-Term Sustainability” investigates why human factors should be treated more as software quality attributes rather than simple non-functional properties. During her Master’s research, Baran has published two nice conference papers and presented them at the respective venues:
– B. Shajari and I. David. “Bridging the Silos of Digitalization and Sustainability by Twin Transition: A Multivocal Literature Review“. In: 2025 11th International Conference on ICT for Sustainability (ICT4S). IEEE, 2025. 10.1109/ICT4S68164.2025.00012 [Preprint]
– B. Shajari, X. Liu, K. Dagenais, and I. David. “Trust the AI, Doubt Yourself: The Effect of Urgency on Self-Confidence in Human-AI Interaction.” In: 34th ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering (FSE Companion ’26). ACM, 2026. [Preprint]
Feyi’s thesis “Towards Reliable Systems of Twinned Systems” defines and characterizes a novel class of systems that emerge from connecting and organizing digital twins by system-of-system principles, a.k.a., systems of twinned systems (SoTS). During her Master’s research, Feyi has led the publication of a journal article in SoSyM:

Congratulations to you. It’s been my pleasure supervising you and witnessing you grow as professionals. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours!
