Sabrina is a student in TU Wien's Media and Human Centered Computing Master's program. She has been working on Gender Equality in IT since shortly after starting her Bachelor's at TU Wien. Based on her contribution to the H2020 Project GEECCO (Gender Equality in Engineering through Communication and Commitment), which is also the base of her Master's thesis, she is developing a method and tool kit to enable researchers and practitioners in discovering gender(ed) aspects and dimensions in their work.
