Dr. Dominik Helm
Dominik Helm is interim professor for Software Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen. His current research is on modularization and automatic parallelization of collaborative static analyses in order to improve the precision, soundness, and scalability of static analyses. In particular, he works on the OPAL static analysis framework for Java VM bytecode in order to improve analyses to find bugs and security vulnerabilities. Analyses he has been working on include purity and immutability analyses as well as modular, feature-consistent call graphs.
He is currently the lead maintainer of the OPAL static analysis framework.
