About Me

After graduating from the School of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade in 2006, I worked for five years as embedded systems developer at the Institute Mihailo Pupin in Belgrade. At the time, my research was closely linked to everyday issues I was facing when designing printed-circuit boards: signal integrity, transmission lines, antennas, RF amplifiers, and power plane resonances. In 2010 and 2011, I visited the Processor Architecture Laboratory (LAP) at EPFL, as part of the SNSF-SCOPES project “Advancing Embedded Systems Research in Serbia”. It was then that I started being interested in hardware acceleration using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and coarse-grain reconfigurable arrays (CGRAs). In 2013, I obtained a PhD degree at the School of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade with the thesis entitled "A method for designing domain-specific reconfigurable arrays". Beginning of 2013, I moved to Switzerland to pursue my research career by taking the post of a scientific collaborator at the University of Applied Sciences in Yverdon-les-Bains, where I worked on a European Union FP7-funded project STRUCTURES (Strategies for the Improvement of Critical Infrastructure Resilience to EM attacks). In October 2016, I joined the EPFL's School of Computer and Communication Sciences and the Parallel Systems Architecture Laboratory (PARSA) as a scientific assistant, where I continue building my career in research and teaching.

Today, my research interests span the areas of field-programmable technology, electronic design automation (EDA) and, more recently, electrical-level attacks and countermeasures for reconfigurable hardware. In EDA space, I work on methods for designing domain-specific reconfigurable arrays, on hardware and software acceleration of VLSI and FPGA placement and routing, on machine-learning approaches for reducing the leakage power of FPGAs and on the analysis and design of FPGA routing architectures.

I serve on the program committees of the FPGA, the FCCM, and the FPL conference, and review for IEEE TCAD, IEEE TVLSI, IEEE TC, IEEE TEMC, IEEE Access, IEEE TPDS, and ACM TRETS. I am a member of EcoCloud, the EPFL center for sustainable cloud computing.

I am a mother of Djordje and Lucia. We love travelling the world, making friends, and enjoying good food and movies.
