Georgia Stamou is a Ph.D. candidate at the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), with a strong focus on electronic subsea sensor systems. She received her Diploma in ECE from NTUA in 2022. To date, she has presented her work at four international conferences and published several articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Her research interests include the design and development of individual sensors and sensor systems, as well as the hardware and software required for the wired or wireless transmission of sensor data. She also has experience working as an Embedded Software Engineer in both research projects and industry settings. Her Ph.D. research focuses on developing an all-in-one, high-sensitivity, real-time underwater monitoring system. This system integrates custom-designed hydrophones and advanced data processing algorithms for the classification of underwater sound sources.

As a visiting researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), MA, U.S.A., she aims to advance her work in passive acoustic underwater sensing and apply machine learning algorithms to classify and analyze the collected acoustic data. MIT’s expertise in this field, along with its laboratory facilities and equipment, provides an ideal environment for the progression of her research.
