The focus of my postdoctoral research lies on the process of requirements elicitation during a software project, especially non-functional requirements, the interfaces of requirements engineering to architectural design and project management. The aspect which I am most interested in in these fields are decisions. I am working on the project SIKOSA for the work package "requirements" and also am one of the two leaders of the work group "Requirements Engineering and Project Management" . Moreover, I am the women's representative (Frauenbeauftragte) of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science.
Teaching
Lecture in summer semester 2005 "Software Engineering SWE IIa: Requirements Engineering and Project Management"
Lecture in summer semester 2007 "SWE IIc: Wissensmanagement und Entscheidungen im Software Engineering"
In august 2006, I gave two two-day project management trainings at the Informatica Feminale (summer school for women in computer science) in Freiburg.
Lecture in summer semester 2005 "Software Engineering SWE IIa: Requirements Engineering and Project Management"
In September 2005, I performed a two-day Software Engineering training at the Informatica Feminale (summer school for women in computer science) in Furtwangen.
In July 2004 and 2005, at the IIWE (International Institute of Women Engineering, a summer school), I presented the Germany part of "The History of Engineering Education", and in July 2005 also talked about "Project Management".
Before that, of course, during my project work, I held several software trainings for end-users.
