Isabella Graßl
University of Cambridge
After successfully defending my dissertation on diversity in programming education, I am leaving the PYREC programme and my academic home at the University of Passau. The University of Passau has been an important companion for me over many years - starting with my two Bachelor's and two Master's degree programmes and ending with my doctorate.
PYREC has given me valuable insights into interdisciplinary collaboration and the design of innovative research projects. It is therefore difficult for me to say goodbye, but I am looking forward to applying all this experience and the knowledge I have gained at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Computer Science and Technology, where I will continue my research in the field of computing education.
