Igor Ivkić – Systems & Security Group (SSG)

I am working as a researcher and teaching fellow at the University of Applied Sciences Burgenland (Eisenstadt, Austria) and my research work focuses on measuring the security costs of Cyber-Physical Systems.

For any queries, I can be contacted at i.ivkic@lancaster.ac.uk

Research Interests

Cyber-Physical Systems
Software and system security
System performance and security cost measurement

Projects

I am currently involved in MIT 4.0 project to develop a framework for measuring the performance and the overhead imposed by providing security for Cyber-Physical Systems
