Biography
Martina Dürauer first joined the former Ecosystems Services and Management Program in March 2013 as a research scholar in the Earth Observation Systems Group, where she was part of a team working on the development of a geospatial infrastructure and was involved in the Geo-Wiki project. She currently works as a research software developer in the Novel Data Ecosystems for Sustainability Research Group of the IIASA Advancing Systems Analysis Program, managing the geospatial infrastructure supporting the Geo-Wiki. In particular, she develops and supports the numerous campaigns that are run using Geo-Wiki.In 2007 and 2008, she worked for the Austrian Federal Forests on various projects in the fields of geographic information systems (GIS), as well as web and application programming. In the summer of 2008, she worked for the Bavarian State Forestry carrying out GIS analysis. During her master’s thesis, she began to focus on metadata visualization. From 2009 until 2013, she worked for the research subsidiary of the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt FOTEC Forschungs- und Technologietransfer GmbH in Austria as a technologist in the fields of application and web programming, database development, and GIS. During this time, she was also employed as an external lecturer for programming and web technology at the University of Applied Sciences in Wiener Neustadt.
Dürauer received her MSc degree in information technology/geomatics in 2009, from the University of Applied Sciences in Wiener Neustadt. Her research interests are database design, programming, WebGIS, and social networks. In 2021, she started the master’s degree program in Health Care Informatics at the University of Applied Sciences in Wiener Neustadt.
