Background

Danny received his Ph.D in 2002 at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences with a thesis that is a qualitative study of reuse in information systems development(DSV), a joint department between Stockholm University, SU, and Kungl Tekniska Högskolan (Royal Institute of Technology), KTH. DSV is part of the IT University in Stockholm , Sweden

Danny received his M.Sc at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at Stockholm University in 1997, specializing in information systems and his Ph.Lisc in 1999 specializing in participation in Enterprise Modeling. During this period he was also employed in a European Union financed research project, ELEKTRA where he authored and co-authored a number of reports and deliverables.
