Academic CV

From 1999 to 2005, I studied Information Systems (Wirtschaftsinformatik) at the Vienna University of Technology and the University of Vienna. From 2004 to 2005, I was tutor at the Institute of Software Technology and Interactive Systems for two classes, namely "188.190 Unternehmensmodellierung und Business Engineering" and "188.158 Modellierungstechniken und Methoden".  Since September 2003, I worked as a trainer for admina.at hardware courses.
In February 2005 I joined WIT, the Women's Postgraduate College for Internet Technologies, as a PhD student. During my time at WIT, I published 9 research papers at peer-reviewed international conferences and workshops. In January 2008, I finished my PhD thesis Business Process Modelling - Languages, Goals and Variabilities. I defended my thesis on January, the 14th.

My PhD thesis:

Here a quick view through our former office - made by Andreas Bauer in a lecture for his study of informatics. You need Quicktime to watch this movie!
