Riemer van Rozen conducts applied research on solutions that improve software, accelerate its design and simplify its maintenance. He creates programming languages, tools and techniques that are: 1) domain-specific solutions for non-programmer experts, novices and children; and 2) language-parametric technology for analyzing software and developing domain-specific languages. His main focus topics and impact areas are Programming Languages, Automated Game Design and Game-Based Learning. He is an experienced lecturer and speaker, e.g., on topics such as software design, automated game design and software evolution. As a Master's project supervisor, he helps students excel and publish. He serves as a PC member, reviewer and organizer for select research communities. For more information, please see his homepage.
