Organisation Committee Members

The MSRP&S organising committee takes care of creating an attractive forum for researchers and practitioners interested in the interaction of cybersecurity and software repository mining. We thank the current and former committee members for supporting MSR4P&S:

Dr Nicolás E. Díaz Ferreyra is a senior researcher and lecturer at the Institute of Software Security of Hamburg University of Technology, Germany. His research stands at the intersection of human-computer interaction and privacy engineering, with a special focus on the application of AI and "digital nudging" to cybersecurity decision-making processes. He has a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Duisburg-Essen, where he worked as a postdoctoral fellow and coordinator of the DFG-funded research training group "User-Centred Social Media". He has taken part in several European projects, including "PDP4E: Methods and tools for GDPR compliance through privacy and data-protection engineering" and "AssureMOSS: Assurance and certification in secure Multi-party Open Software and Services".
Related Service Duty: He is the co-organiser of the AiOfAi workshop series on adverse impacts and collateral effects of AI technologies co-located with IJCAI. He has been a PC member in conferences/workshops such as CHI, IFIP-SEC, ARES, CSCW, EuroUSEC, SVM@ICSE, DPM@ESORICS, and IWPE@EuroS&P; and also as a reviewer of journals like JSS, COSE, IST, and SoSyM.

Dr Melina Vidoni is a lecturer at the Australian National University, Australia. Her main research interests are mining software repositories, technical debt, software development, and empirical software engineering when applied to data science and scientific software. She graduated from Universidad Tecnologica Nacional as an Information Systems Engineer, and received her Ph.D. from the same institution, with the maximum qualification. She founded R-Ladies Santa Fe in 2018.
Related Service Duty: Since 2018, she is an associate editor for rOpenSci, an open organisation that peer-reviews R packages, and completed three terms as Editor-in-Chief. She has been on the program committee of several high-ranking conferences, including ICPC, MSR, ICSME, ASE and MODELS, and has also reviewed for several journals including IST.
