Biography
Ivana Podnar Žarko is a Full Professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, Croatia (UNIZG-FER), where she teaches courses on distributed systems and the Internet of Things. She was promoted to Full Professor in December 2017 and leads Internet of Things Laboratory at UNIZG-FER since 2015. She was a guest researcher and research associate (2001-2002) at the Vienna University of Technology, Austria, and a postdoctoral researcher (2005-2006) at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland.
Her research interests lie in the domain of distributed systems, especially decentralized solutions in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). In the last five years, she has focused on the following research problems: artificial intelligence and interoperability for IoT, mobile crowd sensing solutions and distributed ledger technology.
Prof. Podnar Žarko has rich experience of participation in collaborative scientific research projects funded from national and European sources and has led six research projects. She is currently coordinating the Horizon Europe twinning project AIoTwin: Twinning action for spreading excellence in Artificial Intelligence of Things and was the Technical Manager of the H2020 project symbIoTe: Symbiosis of smart objects across IoT environments (2016-2018). She led two recently completed national projects: IoT-Field, funded by the European Structural and Investment Funds, and IoT4us, funded by the Croatian Science Foundation. She is also involved as a researcher in the Centre of Research Excellence for Data Science and Advanced Cooperative Systems, the first national center of excellence in the field of technical sciences in Croatia. She has also served as an invited expert evaluator for the Horizon Europe program.
Ivana Podnar Žarko co-authored more than 85 scientific papers in the area of large-scale distributed systems, IoT, and Big data processing. She has served as a program committee member for many international conferences and workshops (e.g., IEEE Globecom, IEEE ICC, IEEE 5G World Forum, Global IoT Summit) and was a track chair of the 19th Annual IEEE/ACM Int. Symposium in Cluster, Cloud, and Grid Computing (CCGrid 2019). She is a member of IEEE and was the Chapter Chair of IEEE Communications Society, Croatia Chapter (2011-2014). She has received an award for engineering excellence from the IEEE Croatia Section in 2013 and the Science Award of UNIZG-FER in 2020 for outstanding achievements in research and innovation.
