Dr. Dodig-Crnkovic’s career is divided in three decades. The first one dedicated to Physics, working at the Rudjer Boskovic research Institute in Zagreb. She spent the next ten years in industry, working for Swedish ABB company as criticality safety analyst for ABB Atom. She wrote the Criticality Safety Handbook, still in use today. In the last decade, she has moved to computer science, making her second PhD (Phil. Dr.) in Computer Science at Mälardalen University Sweden in 2006. Thesis title: Investigations into Information Semantics and Ethics of Computing. Advisors: Prof. Björn Lisper, Jan Gustafsson (Computer Science) and Lars-Göran Johansson (Philosophy, Uppsala).
