Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKaterina Oikonomou is a robotics developer and recent PhD graduate from Democritus University of Thrace, specializing in spiking neural networks for perception and control in human-assistive robots. With eight years of experience across Greek research institutes, she blends computational neuroscience, computer vision, and machine learning to build neuromorphic perception and control systems. Her work spans European and national projects, pairing rigorous academic research with hands-on development at DUTH and NCSR "DEMOKRITOS." She holds a Master's in Robotics and Automation (thesis work at University of Bremen) and a Bachelor's in Physics with strengths in informatics, electronics, and signal processing. Colleagues describe her as a researcher-engineer who moves concepts toward applied robotic solutions, particularly for next-generation assistive technologies. Based in Greece, she combines deep theoretical knowledge with practical system integration skills that are rare at the intersection of neuromorphic computing and real-world robotics.
