Hello there! My name is Alfa Yohannis, and I'm currently working as a research fellow at the University of York in the United Kingdom, where I obtained my PhD. I'm currently working on a Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTP) project between Leonardo Ltd and the University of York. This project specifically aims to develop a lingua franca modelling language that bridges different technical languages across engineering disciplines. Apart from this project, I have a broad research interest in several areas, including Model-Driven Engineering, Software Engineering, Information Systems, Gamification, Decentralised Systems, Blockchains, and Computer Science Education. Before completing my PhD, I worked as a software developer and lecturer, with a proven track record in business software development and the higher education industry.
