About Me
My name is Sotiria Lampoudi, and everyone calls me Teri. I am originally from Greece.
I came to the US in 1998 to study at UChicago. This is where I got involved with high performance computing at Argonne National Lab. In 2008 I received a PhD in Computer Science from UC Santa Barbara. My major contribution was the Multinomial Simulation Algorithm.
After that I held Postdoc and Researcher positions at UCSD and UCSB until 2013. While at UCSB I worked on the Las Cumbres Observatory's global robotic telescope network scheduling kernel, which enables the continuous observation of targets despite the Earth's rotation.
Since 2013 I have worked in industry and non-profit robotics for science, with an emphasis on multi-robot coordination, autonomy and simulation.
At Liquid Robotics I was part of the team that built the Wave Glider Autonomous Surface Vehicle.
At DroneSeed I designed multi-UAV coordination algorithms, resulting in the first waiver from the FAA permitting operation of multiple drones under the supervision of a single pilot.
At Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute I was part of the team that integrated the first "back-seat driver" payload onto the Long Range Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (LRAUV).
I now advise startups on topics in which I have deep experience, and pursue personal projects and collaborations, which you can find out more about on this site.
