Bio

Dr Lina Stanković is currently a Lecturer at the University of Strathclyde. Before joining Strathclyde, she was at Lancaster University as a PhD student, research associate and then lecturer. Her PhD was sponsored by QinetiQ (formerly DERA Malvern 1999 - 2002) on developing a turbo receiver including coding, equalization and synchronization for combat radio. She has also worked with BT Labs, Martlesham Heath on GUI design for digital video, and with Philips Research Europe in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.on developing signal processing techniques for characterization and detection of ISI-limited signals from two-dimensional optical storage discs. She has published over 80 research papers in peer-reviewed international journals, conference proceedings, and three book chapters; her research is funded by the  EPSRC, SFC, EU FP7 and Royal Society in data analytics and communications for smart homes within the smart grid, wireless communications, and water infrastructure monitoring .   

She is an EPSRC Peer Review College member and Associate Editor for the International Journal of Electronics and Communications. She is also a Senior Member of the IEEE.

Her research efforts are dedicated into tuning expertise in coding and signal processing tools for intelligent monitoring and control of civil structures, domestic energy usage, appliance behaviour, water treatment and distribution and to a lesser extent agriculture, through the use of wireless sensor network data acquisition, communications and various modelling and inference tools. This work requires bridging the gap or interdisciplinary work among a variety of communication tools (e.g. cooperation, energy-efficient routing and clustering), signal and image processing tools (e.g. characterization, sampling, behaviour modelling, feature extraction, classification), water and environmental  engineering, studying the efects of various financial and economic incentives and policy related to the low-carbon economy as well as understanding user-behaviour.
