Short CV

Johanna Sepúlveda received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering – Microelectronics by the University of São Paulo, Brazil. She was Postdoctoral fellow at the Integrated Systems and Embedded Software group at this University and at the group of Embedded Security of the University of South Brittany, France. Moreover, Johanna Sepúlveda was a Visiting Researcher at the Computer Architecture group at the University of Bremen, Germany. In 2014, she worked as a Senior INRIA Postdoctoral researcher at the Heterogeneous Systems group at the University of Lyon, France.

Since 2015, Johanna Sepúlveda has been researcher at the Institute for Security in Information Technology at TUM. She has more than 12 years of experience in embedded security design. It includes research on and implementation of innovative and low cost protection techniques (crypto/no crypto based) against side-channel attacks, fault attacks and denial-of-service attacks. Furthermore, she has experience in development of hardware and software for System-on-Chip (SoC) and Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC), including verification, design optimization and the inclusion of quality-of-service in network-based systems.
