Martina Brachmann is a researcher in the Ericsson Research IoT Technologies and Cyber-Physical Systems team.
Her area of interest include the Internet of Things with a main focus on resource-constrained, low-power devices. Over the past years, she has been working on different aspects and layers in the stack of such devices – from application layer to security over medium access control to physical layer considerations.
Previously, Martina was an ERCIM Alain Bensoussan post-doctoral researcher working at the Networked Embedded Systems (NES) group of Thiemo Voigt at RISE SICS in Stockholm, Sweden. She completed her PhD at the Technische Universität Dresden, Germany, under guidance of Prof. Dr. Silvia Santini in 2018. From May to August 2015, she joined Prof. Dr. Olaf Landsiedel’s research group in Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, as a research scholar. She received her Master of Science in Information and Communication Technology from the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus (BTU), Germany, in 2012.
