Biography

I earned Magister degree in Computer Science at Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia. My major areas were mathematical methods in computer science and computer graphics. My Master's thesis research was on topological graph theory supervised by Prof. Skoviera.

I earned my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at Vanderbilt University in August 2007. I co-developed a number of large scale WSN systems and focused on algorithms to coordinate wireless sensors in time and space. I worked with Prof. Sztipanovits, Dr.Ledeczi, and Dr. Maroti at the Insitute for Software Integrated Systems (ISIS).

I worked with Prof. Leo Guibas as a postdoc in the Computer Science department at Stanford University between 2007 and 2009. My research focused on low-latency delivery of sensor data to mobile users, discovery and utilization of mobility patterns in urban environments, and information discovery and brokerage in WSNs, with a specific focus on camera sensor networks.

I moved to ICT Centre in Brisbane, Australia to work for CSIRO as a senior research scientist in October 2009.
