Research Interests:

Dr Novakovic's research interests are varied and in the broadest sense include Cryptography, Combinatorics, Formal Method of Specification, Theory of Computation, Finite State Machines, Computer Music Generation, History of Mathematics, Practical Philosophy.
More specifically, a significant proportion of Dr Novakovic’s recent work combines Combinatorics and Cryptography by carrying out attempts to systematically investigate and enumerate good permutations. With a potential application in Cryptography this research attempts to develop a set of methods for determining the probability of a permutation being good by using techniques from generation of permutations and partitions.
Dr Novakovic has recently expanded her research interests towards computer music generation by comprising genetic algorithms coupled with empirically devised musical filters.
