Albena Mihovska

About

Albena Mihovska is a leading researcher at the intersection of wireless communications, IoT security, and emerging 6G technologies. Her work addresses critical challenges in next-generation connectivity, particularly for robotic services and industrial automation. She has made significant contributions to securing IoT applications, notably through her 2020 framework for smart objects in socially assistive robots (13 citations), which tackles the dynamic security needs of semi-autonomous devices. Mihovska has also shaped the comparative understanding of short-range wireless technologies, as seen in her 2012 study on UWB and VLC for data-intensive applications (10 citations), and is actively influencing the standardisation landscape for 6G robotic services (7 citations, 2023). Her recent analysis of UAV communication aided by intelligent reflective surfaces for Industry 4.0 (3 citations, 2022) demonstrates her forward-looking approach to ultra-reliable low-latency connectivity. Through her work on standards development and emerging wireless paradigms, Mihovska is helping to define the communication foundations for the next generation of autonomous systems and smart environments.
