About Panagiota Chatzipetrou

Dr. Panagiota Chatzipetrou is an Associate Professor (Docent) and Excellent Teacher at the Department of Informatics at Örebro University in Örebro, Sweden, where she belongs to the Centre for Empirical Research on Information Systems (CERIS).

 
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 is titled “Statistical methods in information systems project planning.” In parallel, she holds a master’s in pedagogy and didactics and 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. She works on behavioral software engineering and the exploitation of the human factor under the different views that ultimately determine the quality of software product development. Her research interests include applications of statistical methods to quality problems in software engineering, especially requirements engineering. She aims to explore how large language models (LLMs) can be used for Requirements analysis processes and works towards the different uses of AI in requirements engineering. Furthermore, she is performing research on remote work, distributed and outsourcing software development. Moreover, she has been working with decision support systems for the development of software-intensive systems and large-scale agile (and global) software development.


She has conducted research with several international companies, such as Ericsson, Spotify, Storebrand, Trafikverket, and Fortnox, and collaborated with numerous higher education institutions in Sweden, Greece, and Great Britain. She has served as a PC member for  SEAA, ESEM, PROFES, WISE, IWSM-Mensura, and as a reviewer for EMSE, JSS, JSEP, EJIS, IST, JCST, IET Software, EMJ, etc.

As a teacher, Panagiota Chatzipetrou is responsible for many courses and teaches at all levels of Informatics and Software Engineering – from basic to advanced, as well as master's and doctoral studies. Panagiota is a committed teacher with a great interest in pedagogical development and didactics, and she was appointed Excellent Teacher at Örebro University in 2025.
