Biography

Isabel Wagner is an Associate Professor in Cyber Security at the University of Basel, Switzerland. Dr. Wagner received her Ph.D in engineering (Dr.-Ing.) and M.Sc. in computer science (Dipl.-Inf. Univ.) from the Department of Computer Science, University of Erlangen in 2010 and 2005, respectively. In 2011 she was a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow in the research group of Prof. Masayuki Murata at the University of Osaka, Japan. She is a Senior Member of the ACM (2017) and IEEE (2018).

Her research interests are privacy and privacy-enhancing technologies, particularly metrics to quantify the effectiveness of privacy protection mechanisms, privacy protections for smart technologies, and measurement studies to create transparency for web and IoT systems. Her 2022 book, Auditing Corporate Surveillance Systems: Research Methods for Greater Transparency, is available from Cambridge University Press.
