Sigrid has joined the Institute for Information Systems and New Media as a research and teaching associate in September 2009. Since 2010, Sigrid is also a member of the researcher team at Secure Business Austria research and competence center. She received a PhD, a Master, and a Bachelor degree in Information Systems as well as a Master degree in Business Administration from the WU Vienna (all with honors). During her Master studies she spent one semester abroad at the Uppsala University in Sweden. Most of her current research focuses on the fields of business process modeling and security.
Prior to joining the Institute for Information Systems and New Media, Sigrid was tutor and study assistant at the Institute for Information Business and the Institute for Human Resource Management at WU Vienna. Furthermore, she worked part-time for several software and consulting companies.
