Dr Danni Novakovic has been working as an academic in the fields of Computer Science and Mathematics since 1994. She holds a PhD in the field of Mathematics. Danni is a fellow of the British Computer Society as well as Higher Education Academy.
Dr Danni Novakovic joined Anglia Ruskin University in 2019 as a part-time Senior Lecturer Practitioner. While she was working full-time in academia, she held a number of managing positions. The latest role was Head of School of Computer Science and Technology at University of Bedfordshire. Previous roles include Head of Computing at University of West London and Postgraduate Coordinator at London Metropolitan University. During her career Danni has gained experience in managing and leading groups of academic staff. She also has gained extensive experience in leading and contributing to curriculum design and development as well as ample experience in quality and course accreditation related matters, managing various team projects, staff recruitment, staff appraisal, staff development and workload planning, teaching at a range of different levels (undergraduate and postgraduate) as well as having a record of and a great interest in further research.
Danni’s research interests are varied and include Cryptography, Information Security, Formal Method of Specification, Combinatorics, Theory of Computation. More specifically, a significant proportion of the work combines Combinatorics and Cryptography by carrying out attempts to systematically investigate and enumerate good permutations with a potential application in Cyber Security. More recent research expanded Danni’s interests towards computer music generation by comprising genetic algorithms coupled with empirically devised musical filters.
The latest direction of her research interest within Security has taken her into an investigation leading to a self-configuring homogeneous security framework for mobile devices.
