Profile

Dr Donghwan Shin has been a Lecturer in Software Testing in the School of Computer Science, University of Sheffield since 2022. He did his BSc (2006-2010), MSc (2010-2012), and PhD (2012-2018) at KAIST, South Korea. This was followed by four years as a research associate (2018-2020) and research scientist (2020-2022) at SnT, University of Luxembourg. His work has been funded by the EPSRC (UK) and the National Research Foundation of Korea (South Korea).

Research interests

His research and teaching interests lie in mutation testing, testing for ML-enabled cyber-physical systems (e.g., ML-enabled automated driving systems), and log analysis (e.g., model inference and anomaly detection). He has published research papers at top venues such as ICSE, ICST, ISSTA, and MODELS and journals such as TSE, EMSE, and STVR.
