Interests

My research interests are in the areas of distributed system and network security. Most of my work is focused on using physical properties of communication and systems to design and analyse the security of mobile and wireless networks. Some of my concrete research topics include reactive and selective jamming, secret key generation, and device authentication based on wireless signal behaviour. Along this way, I work with various techonologies, such as software-defined radios, wireless sensors, smartphones, and RFIDs. As another incarnation of the physical security properties, I'm also interested in behavioural biometrics and their applications, such as continuous authentication using human biosignals captured by, e.g., eye-tracking and EEG devices (a research project I've started with Prof. Dawn Song during my stay at UC Berkeley). I have also been working on other non-functional aspects of distributed systems like network performance (network calculus), resource management, and decentralized coordination in wireless networks.

Biography

Ivan is a faculty member at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford. Before coming to Oxford he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Security Research Lab, UC Berkeley (2011) and at the Secure Computing and Networking Centre, UC Irvine (2009/2010). From 2009 until 2011 he enjoyed a Carl-Zeiss Foundation Fellowship and he was an associate lecturer at TU Kaiserslautern, Germany.  He obtained his PhD from TU Kaiserslautern under supervision of Prof. Dr. Jens B. Schmitt and MSc from TU Darmstadt, Germany.
