Biography

Grützbauch was born as the youngest of six children in the Viennese district of Währing and completed her Matura at a school in Simmering. In 1996, she began to study astronomy at the University of Vienna and obtained her diploma in 2003.

Her h-index is at least 26. In 2013, Grützbauch ended her academic career and became an environmental educator. From 2015 to 2017, she worked as a science communicator at the Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre.
