Biography
Rashina Hoda is a Professor of Software Engineering at Monash University, Australia. Her research focuses on the human and socio-technical aspects of Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Digital Health. She was named the 2025 Top Researcher in Software Systems in Australia by The Australian. In her 2024 Springer book Qualitative Research with Socio-Technical Grounded Theory, she presents a modern socio-technical variation to the Grounded Theory methods.
As the Associate Dean ED&I, she has introduced an intersectional lens to the portfolio. Her contribution to championing women in STEM was recognised through the Guiding Star Mentorship Award at the 2024 Women of Colour in STEM Awards.
She was selected as one of the Superstars of STEM 2021-22 cohort by Science and Technology Australia to serve as a visible role model of women in STEM. Rashina enjoys presenting her research, talks, and stories in a variety of accessible ways to academics, industry, media, and the wider society. For more, see: www.rashina.com
