Education and career
editOswald is originally from Wolfsberg, Carinthia. She studied mathematics and information processing at the Graz University of Technology,[2] completing her Ph.D. there in 2003 with the dissertation On Side-Channel Attacks and the Application of Algorithmic Countermeasures supervised by Reinhard Posch.[3]
She started working at the University of Bristol in 2006 as a lecturer, and later became Professor in Applied Cryptography there.[4] She moved to Klagenfurt in 2019,[2] describing herself as a "Brexit refugee".[1] She continues to be affiliated with the University of Bristol as an Honorary Professor.[5] Since 2023 she has taken up a professorial position at the University of Birmingham.
