Maha Sroor

I am Maha Sroor, a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Software Engineering research group (M3S) within the Software Engineering and Information Systems (SEIS) research unit at the University of Oulu. My research lies at the intersection of software engineering, software management, and the human aspects of software development. I am interested in how individuals, teams, and organizations make decisions throughout the software development lifecycle, and how technical, organizational, and cognitive factors influence software quality, security, and project outcomes.

Before pursuing an academic career, I worked in engineering and enterprise resource planning consulting. My research background has explored a range of topics related to software systems. I studied how modeling can support decision-making and governance in self-sovereign identity ecosystems. In addition, I studied security management in container-based software systems, including threats, practices, and the factors that enable secure software development.
