Associate Professor Liisa Von Hellens has over thirty years experience in the IT industry, as a programmer and systems developer and at university level in Australia and Europe. Her doctorate at Oxford University was about packaged software provision and use. Her subsequent research, publications and consulting activities have covered information systems development and use in organisations, strategic quality management of software development, and the management of IT human resources and the associated skills supply.

Since 1995, Liisa has also carried out research with Sue Neilson into the influence of culture and gender on perceptions of IT education and work, and the factors affecting female participation in IT education and work, funded by the Australian Research Council. She is also involved in establishing an IT Mentoring Program for selected high schools in Brisbane, a project funded by Griffith University's Strategic Improvement Grant.
