About
Sotiria Lampoudi is a leading figure in the automation and scheduling of robotic telescope networks, with a focus on enabling transformative time-domain astronomy. Her most cited work, "Novel scheduling approaches in the era of multi-telescope networks" (2014, 19 citations), outlines the pioneering scheduling algorithms developed for the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope (LCOGT)—a worldwide network of fully robotic optical telescopes. Lampoudi’s major contribution lies in designing centralized network schedulers that coordinate observatory automation and longitudinal site spacing, allowing for observing modes previously impossible with single telescopes. This work has been foundational for rapid-response and continuous monitoring of transient astronomical events. Her research bridges operations research, software engineering, and astrophysics, directly impacting how modern observatories maximize scientific output. Though her citation count reflects the niche nature of her field, Lampoudi’s innovations are critical to the infrastructure of global telescope networks, making her a key contributor to the future of real-time, multi-site astronomical discovery.
