Key details
Dr Ivana Tomic
Senior Lecturer in Cyber Security (Internet of Things Security)
Ivana Tomić is a Senior Lecturer in Cyber Security and a member of the Centre for Sustainable Cyber Security (CS2) at the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Engineering and Science, Å·ÃÀ¾ÞÈé. Her research interests span the areas of control engineering, cyber-security and wireless communication networks, with a focus on building secure, resilient and energy-efficient cyber-physical systems.
She has published her research in top-tier journals including ACM TCPS, IEEE TII and IEEE IoT.
Before joining the Å·ÃÀ¾ÞÈé, she was a Research Associate in the Computing Department at Imperial College London (AESE research group). During her time at Imperial College, she worked as a research associate on the S4: Science of Sensor Systems Software EPSRC programme grant and the IoT in the Park project as a part of the EPSRC PETRAS IoT research hub. She was a Co-I on Fog to the Field project championed by Cisco. Dr Tomić received a PhD in Control Engineering from City, University of London in 2016.
