The David Lorge Parnas Fellowship has been established to honour David Parnas who was Professor of Software Engineering at University of Limerick until his retirement in 2008, and where he is now Emeritus Professor of Software Engineering.
The Fellowship is a senior position and is intended to allow talented software researchers and developers to visit Lero on a short-term basis. Fellows can be hosted at any of the Lero partner institutions but are expected to visit at least two Lero sites during their stay.
Fellows are also expected to collaborate closely with relevant industry partners. Fellows will deliver a Distinguished Lecture while at Lero and will discuss research topics with Lero students and staff.
