About Panagiota Chatzipetrou

Dr. Panagiota Chatzipetrou is an Associate Professor (Docent) at Örebro University in Örebro, Sweden.

She received her BSc degree in Informatics, MSc in “Informatics and Business Administration” and Ph.D. in Informatics from the Department of Informatics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh), Greece. Her doctoral dissertation has the title: “Statistical methods in information systems project planning”. In parallel, she holds a master in pedagogy and didactics and she has been educated in special education, learning difficulties and dyslexia.

As a researcher, she mainly focuses on empirical studies under the different perspectives of software development. Her research interests include - but are not limited to- applications of statistical methods to quality problems in software engineering and especially to requirements engineering and the exploitation of human factor and the different views that ultimately determine the quality of a software product and the product development. Also, she has been working with decision support systems for the development of software-intensive systems, large-scale agile (and global) software development, and behavioral software engineering.

She has collaborated with a number of higher education institutions, i.e. Blekinge Institute of Technology, Karlskrona, Sweden; Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTh), Greece; University of applied studies, Western Macedonia (Department of Grevena-Greece); Mediterranean College, Thessaloniki, Greece; University of Derby, England; and Aleksandrio Technological Educational Institute of Thessaloniki, Greece.
