Short Bio

Isabel Wagner is an Associate Professor in Cyber Security at the University of Basel, Switzerland. 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 interests are privacy and privacy-enhancing technologies, particularly metrics to quantify the effectiveness of privacy protection mechanisms, and privacy-enhancing technologies in smart cities, genomics, vehicular networks, and smart grids.
