معرفی
Dr. Stella Pytharouli is a Senior Lecturer in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. With over 20 years of expertise in structural and ground deformation monitoring/analysis, her research focuses on subsurface characterization and slope instability early warning systems through microseismic monitoring, geodetic technologies, and machine learning integration.
- MEng (2002) - University of Patras
- MSc (2004) - University of Patras
- PhD (2007) - University of Patras
Her research combines advanced signal processing with geodetic monitoring (terrestrial/aerial) to develop AI-driven solutions for UK landslide sites. Key areas include:
- Microseismic monitoring of weak seismic events
- Geometric and kinematic analysis of ground deformations
- Integration of geotechnical data with machine learning
- Climate change impact on slope stability
- Low-cost sensor development for environmental monitoring
Recent publications highlight her work on AI-based seismic classification models, tiltmeter applications, and 3D reconstruction techniques. Her group includes 4 PhD students and 1 postdoc.
Scientific recognitions include:
- Geophysical Research Letters front cover selection (2011)
- EOS Research Spotlight (2019)
- Lampadarios Prize from Academy of Athens (2009)
- TOPCON Award for young researchers (2008)
As Director of Postgraduate Research (2020-present), she supervises PhD students and teaches land surveying modules. Current projects address slope stability analysis, climate change correlations, and seismic data automation.
