Isabella Graßl

Isabella Graßl serves as Visiting Professor for Gender in Computer Science at Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. She currently holds the Diversity & Inclusion Chair position for ASE 2025 and actively participates in program committees for ICSE, ESEC/FSE, and CSEE&T conferences across multiple tracks including Software Engineering Education and Training.

Her research spans critical intersections of technology and society:

• Human and Social Aspects of Software Engineering
• Diversity and Inclusion frameworks in technical environments
• Innovative Programming Education methodologies
• Empirical Software Engineering validation techniques
• Machine Learning/NLP applications in developer tools
• Literary and Cultural Studies perspectives on computing

Recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate concentrated exploration of gender dynamics in programming education, with empirical studies on pair programming behaviors, music-based coding engagement, and specialized approaches for neurodiverse learners. Her work increasingly integrates queer theory into software engineering through investigations of LGBTQ+ student experiences and identity-inclusive pedagogy.
