Abstract: Birgit Penzenstadler currently works as a postdoctoral researcher in the department of informatics at UCI. During the final phase of her PhD at TU Munich in Germany she decided she wanted to make sustainability the major focus of her research, and after reading Prof. Bill Tomlinson's book "Greening through IT," she decided she wanted to do that at UCI and collaborate with him. A few Skypecalls, a few months of writing, and one research proposal evaluation period later, she came to California and continued her research at UCI with Prof. Tomlinson and Prof. Debra Richardson. In the past 18 months, she has learned a lot about academic structures in the U.S., gotten more experience in planning research and publications long-term, and practiced her teaching skills - in her talk she will share a few of her experiences and lessons learned.

Speaker: Birgit Penzenstadler studied at the University of Passau, Germany, and the Universidad de Málaga, España. She worked as a full-time research assistant at the research group for Software &
Systems Engineering at Technische Universität München, Germany, where she did her doctoral dissertation on the topic of decomposing requirements into subsystem requirements under Prof. Dr. Dr.
h.c. Manfred Broy. After stays as visiting researcher at the Universitat Polytecnica de Catalunya, España,and the Instituto Tecnologico de Costa Rica, she came to the US to work as postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Debra Richardson and Prof. Bill Tomlinson. From January 2015 onwards, she will be working as Assistant Professor at the California State University Long Beach.

The seminar is free and open to the public.
