Career

Eisenbach joined the Department of Computing, Imperial College London in September 1983. In 1994 she was appointed Director of Studies, a role she held for 15 years, with overall responsibility for teaching.[2] She took a college wide role as Dean of Teaching and Learning in 2010.[3] In January 2011 she was made Head of the Department of Computing, which she completed September 2016.[4] Currently she is the elected member on College Council.

She has published several books on programming. In 1981 she published PASCAL for Programmers.[5] She published Program Design With Modula-2 in 1989.[6] She published Reasoned Programming in 1994.[7] Eisenbach's research focuses on how to produce concurrent programs that behave properly.[8][9][10][11]

She has championed entrepreneurship amongst the student community.[12] She is an advisor to the computer education program "The Turing Lab", a partnership between Imperial College London graduates and YOOX Net-a-Porter Group.[13] Eisenbach has spoken about the lack of women in technology since 2000.[14] She pointed out that when "computing was less popular, we had far more women students".[15] She was part of a The Guardian discussion on how to get more women into technology roles in 2013.[16]
