About

Marcel Böhme completed his PhD at National University of Singapore advised by Prof. Abhik Roychoudhury and received his Dipl.-Inf. (cf. M.Sc.) from Technische Universität Dresden, Germany in 2014 and 2009, respectively. His research is on testing, debugging, and repair of evolving programs — where he seeks to understand and elucidate intrinsic properties such as the efficiency of automated testing, the complexity of realistic software errors, the reliability of automated program repair, the mutational robustness of software components, and the interaction of faults and changes, amongst others. Generally, his work is driven towards establishing and extending the formal foundations of Software Testing and Debugging.

Moved to TSUNAMi Lab, NUS.

Post Scriptum - Umlauts

My last name is properly written with an umlaut (i.e, Böhme).
Latex/BibtexB{\"o}hme
HTMLBöhme
UTF8Böhme
Latex supports umlauts natively using \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} among the imports.
The correct english transliteration spells: Boehme. The letter ö is pronounced like 'u' in fur or the 'e' in earn or merge.
