About
Kristina Rosenthal was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hagen until august 2023. She holds a doctoral degree from the Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics, University of Passau (2015) and a diploma degree in Mathematics from the Technical University of Dortmund (2010). Kristina's research interests cover Information Systems Development with a focus on Conceptual Modelling and Business Process Management. She publishes in peer-reviewed journals (Business & Information Systems Engineering, Software and Systems Modeling, Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures) and conference proceedings including the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), the European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS) and the International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (ER). In research stays at the KU Leuven (Belgium) and the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain) she gained international research experience and built international research networks. Kristina serves on the editorial board of the scholarly peer-reviewed open access journal 'Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures – International Journal of Conceptual Modeling' (EMISAJ) and acts as Track Chair and member of program committees at conferences in the field of Business Informatics.
