About

Georgia Koutsandria is a researcher at the intersection of networking, robotics, and the Internet of Things (IoT), with a focus on energy-efficient data collection and wireless communication. Her most cited work, "Enabling the Mobile IoT: Wake-up Unmanned Aerial Systems for Long-Lived Data Collection" (2019, 6 citations), pioneers the integration of wake-up radio technology with unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to extend the operational lifetime of IoT networks. By enabling drones to selectively activate sensor nodes for data retrieval, Koutsandria addresses a critical challenge in mobile IoT: balancing energy conservation with timely data collection. This contribution is particularly impactful for applications in environmental monitoring, smart agriculture, and disaster response, where long-lived, autonomous systems are essential. Her work exemplifies the synergy between robotics and networking, offering a scalable solution for remote data gathering. Koutsandria’s research not only advances the theoretical foundations of wake-up mechanisms but also provides practical pathways for deploying persistent, low-power IoT infrastructures. As a rising voice in the field, she continues to shape how mobile platforms and energy-aware protocols can work together to enable the next generation of connected, autonomous systems.
