Short Bio:

Ivana Ljubic holds PhD degree in computer science from the Vienna University of Technology (2004) and masters degree in mathematics from the University of Belgrade (2000). She worked for two years in a company dealing with portfolio optimization before continuing her university career as a Post-Doc researcher at the University of Vienna (2007-2010). She was Assistant Professor at the Vienna University of Technology (2010-2011), Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland (2011-2012) and Visiting Researcher at the TU Dortmund (SS 2012). She currently holds Assistant Professor position (tenure-track) at the University of Vienna. She completed her habilitation in January 2013. Research interests of Ivana Ljubic include network design problems, combinatorial optimization and optimization under uncertainty. She uses tools and methods of mixed integer programming, meta-heuristics and their successful combinations for solving optimization problems with applications in telecommunications, design of data and distribution networks and bioinformatics. She received PhD Fellowship of Austrian Academy of Sciences (DOC Fellowship, 2003-2004), PhD award of Austrian Society for Operations Research in 2005, Hertha-Firnberg Post-Doc Fellowship of the Austrian Science Fund (2007-2010) and APART Fellowship of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (2011-2013). She was a co-leader of a research project with Telekom Austria Group (2007-2010), and is currently leading a research project (a cooperation with ZIB, Berlin and TU Wien) ''Multi-Criteria Optimization of FTTx Networks'' (2012-2015) funded by the Austrian Science Fund. As APART Fellow of the OEAW she is currently Visiting Researcher at the COGA Group, at the TU Berlin.
