Biography

I am a research associate at the University of Glasgow (UofG), UK, where I am responsible for research in programmable networks for critical infrastructure. I hold a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Informatics from the University of Pardubice (Czechia) where I specialized in OpenFlow-based software-defined networks and their security applications in IoT networks.

Prior to the UofG role, I worked as a researcher at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Gjøvik, Norway) where I was responsible for developing a simulator of digital substations with emulated communication for cybersecurity awareness. I maintain an external associate professor position at NTNU where I am leading cybersecurity courses for business professionals and provide teaching and research support.
