Victoria Degeler

Victoria Degeler is an Assistant Professor at the Informatics Institute of the University of Amsterdam. Her research focuses on reasoning and decision-making systems for smart environments, activity recognition, digital twins, and sustainable computing applications in energy/water management.

• Member of the Intelligent Data Engineering Lab
• Part of the Complex-Cyber Infrastructures group
• Active in the Data Science Centre

She bridges academia and industry, with prior roles at Airbus, Cupenya, and academic positions at National University of Ireland Galway, Delft University of Technology, and University of Groningen. Her work includes peer-reviewed publications, patents, and coordination of Horizon Europe/NWO research projects.

Recent research trends include distributed digital twins (e.g., the DDTclean project), graph neural networks for activity recognition, and quality-aware complex event processing in IoT systems. She contributes to sustainable computing practices across the computing continuum.

• Best Demonstration Award
• Best Student Paper Award
• EIT Manufacturing grant
• EIT Climate grant
• AMS Institute grant
• NWO-funded DDTclean project

As a PhD supervisor, she leads projects on event-based communication algorithms for distributed digital twins and mentors startups in the Rockstart AI Accelerator. She serves as a program committee member for conferences like ECML-PKDD and CIKM, and reviews projects under the Horizon Europe framework.
