Malvina Latifaj is a software engineering researcher specializing in model-driven engineering and collaborative modeling environments. One strand of her research focuses on blended and multi-view modeling, including the synchronization of different model representations, the automated generation of model transformations, and secure information sharing within collaborative modeling environments.
In software architecture, her research focuses on informal and adaptable models, evolving documentation, and collaborative practices in continuous software development. Her recent work explores how large language models can support these activities—for example, by translating informal knowledge into structured or executable specifications and helping maintain documentation as software systems evolve. Her research is often grounded in practical challenges from industrial software engineering.
