Prof. Dr. Bertrand Meyer

Bertrand Meyer boasts an illustrious career as a distinguished Professor of Software Engineering (emeritus) at ETH Zurich and Chief Technology Officer of Eiffel Software in Santa Barbara. His extensive publications, including 13 single-author books and over 300 refereed articles, have solidified his reputation as a prolific contributor to the field. Meyer's exceptional contributions have earned him prestigious awards like the ACM Software System Award and IEEE Harlan Mills Software Engineering Prize, further cementing his status as a respected figure in industry and academia.

Bertrand Meyer pursues research in various areas of software engineering, including:

• Requirements engineering, a key discipline, about which we published a milestone Handbook in 2022 (see publication list).
• The role of AI and AI-based assistants (e.g. ChatGPT, GPT 4…) in producing and maintaining high-quality software.
• Software engineering for new computing paradigms, such as quantum computing.
• Concurrent and distributed programming.
• Language design, with the continued development of the Eiffel language and its international (ISO) standard.
• Agile methods, software processes, and tools to support software project management.
• Educational technology, particularly the development of feedback systems.
