Name:Eduard Paul Enoiu

Bio:

I am an Associate Professor at Mälardalen University in Västerås, Sweden, co-leading the Software Testing Laboratory and the Formal Modelling and Analysis groups. I studied computer engineering at the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA in Bucharest and completed my PhD at Mälardalen University in 2016; I was promoted to Docent in Embedded Systems (Industrial Quality Assurance) in 2022.

My work sits at the intersection of software engineering, empirical research, human factors, quality assurance, and embedded systems. Recently, I have examined ethical and trust challenges that arise when AI-powered automation is used in software testing, focusing on responsibility, fairness, transparency, human control, explainability, and privacy. My research on preconceptions and biases shows where teams are most influenced by narratives and cognitive preferences when working with testing. I have modeled engineers’ routines as a cyclical problem-solving activity and extended this model to study how cultural understandings and ethical frameworks shape test practitioners. My research work benefits from sustained cooperation with Swedish and European companies, including access to teams and development environments.
