Background

I joined DoCoMo USA Labs in October 2007 as a Research Engineer. I received a Dipl. Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Belgrade in 1999. In Fall 2000 I joined the University of Maryland at College Park, where I worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at the Institute for Systems Research under the supervision of Prof. John S. Baras. I obtained my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Maryland in 2002 and 2007 respectively. From June - October 2007 I worked as a Research Associate at the Institute for Systems Research at the University of Maryland at College Park.

Professional Activities

  • Collaboration with Prof. John Chuang (UC Berkeley) through the UC MICRO project "Incentive Engineering for Network Security"
  • Reviewer for most major IEEE journals and conferences
