Dejan Ničković

CV

Dejan Ničković was born in 1981 in Belgrade, Serbia. He obtained his B. Sc. (Hons.) in Information Technology from the University of Malta in 2003. In 2008 he finished his Ph.D. thesis under the liberal supervision of Oded Maler in the VERIMAG laboratory, Université Joseph Fourier (now Université Grenoble-Alpes) in France. After one year of post-doc in EPFL (Lausanne, Switzerland) and two years of post-doc in IST Austria with Tom Henzinger, he moved in 2011 to the Center for Digital Safety and Security of the Austrian Institute of Technology (AIT), where he was promoted to Senior Scientist in 2015.

His research interests are in the domains of cyber-physical systems, runtime verification, testing, contract-based design, real-time systems.
