Â鶹ƵµÀ

Isabel Wagner is an Associate Professor in Computer Science (Cybersecurity) at Â鶹ƵµÀ in Leicester, UK. Dr. Wagner received her Ph.D in engineering (Dr.-Ing.) and M.Sc. in computer science (Dipl.-Inf. Univ.) from the Department of Computer Science, University of Erlangen in 2010 and 2005, respectively. In 2011 she was a JSPS Postdoctoral Fellow in the research group of Prof. Masayuki Murata at the University of Osaka, Japan. She is a Senior Member of the ACM (2017) and IEEE (2018).

Her research activities are focused on questions regarding privacy and privacy-enhancing technologies, particularly on metrics to quantify the effectiveness of privacy protection mechanisms, as well as on privacy-enhancing technologies in smart cities, genomics, vehicular networks, and smart grids. She is also interested in experimental methods to study corporate surveillance.
