Welcome. My name is Thomas "TomZ" Zimmermann and since November 2008, I am a Researcher at Microsoft Research in Seattle, USA. In addition, I am an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary. I received my PhD from Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany.
My research focuses on improving programmer productivity and I developed techniques and tools that make both managers and developers aware of history. Learning from past successes and failures will help us to create better software.
For more information on my current research at Microsoft, visit Empirical Software Engineering and Measurement Research (ESM) at Microsoft. To find out more about my previous work logon to my personal homepage.
Thanks for visiting!
