Panagiota Tania Stathaki was born in Athens, Greece. She received the Masters degree in Electronics and Computer Engineering from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece, and the Ph.D. degree in Signal Processing from Imperial College, London, U.K. She was a Lecturer with the Department of Information Systems and Computing, Brunel University, London, U.K., and an Assistant Professor with the Department of Technology Education and Digital Systems, University of Piraeus, Piraeus, Greece. She is currently a Reader (Associate Professor) with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of Imperial College. She has internationally acknowledged research expertise in Image Processing, Computer Vision and Machine Learning and, more specifically, image fusion, image registration, change detection, object detection and recognition, and object tracking. She has mainly been involved in defence, security, cultural heritage and environmental monitoring applications and has collaborated with various UK companies such as Dstl, General Dynamics, Selex Galileo and BAE Systems. She is actively involved in various European Union and UK research projects and she has co-authored many papers on signal and image processing and computer vision.
