About
Dr. Panagiota Nikolaou is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, cybersecurity, and dependable systems engineering. Her work focuses on ensuring that autonomous and multi-robot systems are not only functional but also secure and resilient under real-world conditions. She is best known for developing **SafeDrones**, a pioneering framework for the real-time reliability evaluation of UAVs using Executable Digital Dependable Identities (EDDIs), which has garnered 15 citations since 2022. This work enables continuous, runtime assurance for drones operating in safety-critical environments. More recently, Dr. Nikolaou introduced **SESAME**, an automated security assessment tool for modern multi-robot systems, addressing the urgent need for cybersecurity in domains like autonomous driving, surgery, and industrial automation. Her contributions are vital as robots become increasingly integrated into daily life, where cyber-attacks can have severe real-world consequences. By bridging the gap between dependability and security, Dr. Nikolaou is shaping the future of trustworthy autonomous systems.
