Veljko Pejovic
I am an associate professor and the Computer Communications Lab head at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science (FRI), University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. My research deals with mobile computing. Lately I have been focused on mobile sensing and machine learning, approximate mobile computing, and the security in the IoT domain.
