Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristian Birchler is a research-focused software engineer and PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Bern with eight years of experience in software testing, especially search-based testing and fuzzing. As a research assistant formerly at ZHAW and now at Bern, he builds tooling for simulation-based regression testing of cyber-physical systems—highlighted by SDC-Scissor, a public GitHub tool that targets test selection for self-driving car software. He holds an MSc and BSc in Informatics from the University of Zurich and brings a background in physics from ETH Zürich that informs his quantitative approach to testing and virtual environments. Christian combines academic rigor with practical engineering, shipping research prototypes and reproducible tools for industry-relevant problems in DevOps for complex CPS. He aims to deliver a regression testing framework that integrates test prioritization for large-scale simulation workflows.
