Biography

Cristina Gacek is a PhD candidate of the Center for Software Engineering at the University of Southern California. She has received a BS in Mathematics and Computer Science from the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) (Rio de Janeiro-RJ-Brazil) in 1989, a MSc in Computer Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy-NY-USA) in 1992, and a MSc in Software Engineering from the University of Southern California (Los Angeles-CA-USA) in 1995. Between 1988 and 1991, she worked as a systems analyst for IBM Brazil. Her current research interests include software architecture theory, as well as its relation with reengineering and reuse-based software engineering.

Cristina loves the outdoors and used to be an addicted rock climber. She has recently resumed her hiking/climbing activities, but is not back to her top shape yet.
