Biography
Kenan Degirmenci is a Lecturer in the School of Information Systems and part of the Service Science Research Group. Further, he is the Deputy Academic Lead (Learning & Teaching) and the Subject Area Coordinator of the Bachelor of Information Technology course. He has received a Doctor of Economics (Institute of Information Systems) and a Dipl oec (Major in Information Systems) from the University of Hannover. His research focuses on analysing how information systems support individuals and organisations to improve decision-making. More specifically, he focuses on four aspects: (1) business analysis and decision modelling to understand decision-making, (2) quantitative research methods in information systems to evaluate decision-making, (3) digital services to motivate decision-making for sustainable behaviour change, and (4) psychometric analysis to improve information security and privacy decisions.He is an active core member of the Smart City Research Group, and he is currently working on a research project entitled "Local climate research to enable sustainable development" funded by the Queensland Government Department of State Development. His prior projects include research on a project funded by the Council on Australia Latin America Relations entitled "Australia-Brazil Smart City Research and Practice Forum", and an IFE Catapult project entitled "Mitigating urban heat", in which an Internet of things enabled wireless sensor network was implemented for environmental monitoring in Hamilton, QLD. Further prior projects include an ARC Discovery Grant funded project entitled "Developing a theory of green information systems", and a project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy entitled "Showcase electric mobility" at the University of Hannover in Germany in cooperation with industry partner Volkswagen.
