Audronė Lupeikienė

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Audronė Lupeikienė serves as an Associate Professor and Group Leader at the Cybersocial Systems Engineering Group within Vilnius University's Institute of Data Science and Digital Technologies (formerly Institute of Mathematics and Informatics). Holding a Doctor of Science degree, she has established herself as a leading researcher in information systems engineering with over two decades of scholarly contributions. Her academic profile demonstrates sustained excellence in research, teaching, and service within the Lithuanian and international academic community.

Dr. Lupeikienė's research expertise spans Information Systems Engineering, Computer Service Systems Engineering, Knowledge Systems Engineering, and Software Systems Engineering. Her work explores both theoretical foundations and practical applications of information systems, with particular emphasis on service-oriented architectures, business process management systems, and ontology-based component programs. She investigates how these systems can be optimized for performance, quality of service, and effective business-IT alignment in digital environments.

Her recent scholarly output (2020-2024) reveals a clear evolution in research focus from foundational work on component-based systems to contemporary investigations of digital business transformation. Notably, her research has expanded into interdisciplinary applications including telemedicine systems for cardiac rehabilitation and energy harvesting technologies, demonstrating versatility across domains while maintaining core expertise in information systems engineering. This trajectory reflects her ability to adapt theoretical frameworks to emerging technological and societal challenges.

Dr. Lupeikienė has successfully led and participated in significant research projects including the EU structural support project "Theoretical and engineering aspects of the development and use of Internet of Services technologies in high-performance computing platforms" (2012-2015), the "PEN: Production Effectiveness Navigator" EuroStars project (2011-2014), and earlier work on "Engineering problems of ontology-based component programs" (2003-2005). She has served on organizing committees for numerous international conferences and is an active member of the Lithuanian Computer Association.

As an educator, Dr. Lupeikienė has taught a comprehensive range of courses reflecting the evolution of information systems education: Agent technologies (2005-2008), Decision-making systems (since 2003), Information systems (since 2002), Database Theory and Practice (2000-2003), and Computerization of management processes (1995-2002). Her teaching portfolio demonstrates adaptation to technological advancements while maintaining focus on core principles of system design and implementation.

Her leadership of the Cybersocial Systems Engineering Group focuses on the intersection of social systems and technological infrastructure, exploring how to design, implement, and optimize systems that effectively serve both organizational and social needs in today's increasingly interconnected digital landscape.
