Konstantina "Nantia" Nikita is a Greek electrical and computer engineer and a professor at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the
Viterbi School of Engineering, University of Southern California
.
Education, career and research
Nikita received the diploma in
NTUA
, as an assistant professor, and since 2005, she serves as a professor at the same school.
Trained as both a physician and engineer, she works to adapt technologies developed in the antennas and computer industry for healthcare innovation. Nikita leverages technologies at the intersection of
wearables and implants characterized by extreme miniaturization and enhanced performance.[1][2] She integrates data acquired from health monitoring systems with multiscale, multilevel modeling and intelligent decision-making techniques to diagnose, study and treat a variety of diseases including diabetes,[3] obesity,[4] cardiovascular disease,[5] cancer,[6] as well as neurological, mental and cognitive disorders.[7]
Her work refers to both
She is credited with pioneeringphenotypes, incorporating image analysis-based indices, and pathophysiological mechanisms, underlying plaque vulnerability and rupture.[20]
Nikita and her team developed
Her early research has significantly advanced mobile phone technology[24] and has markedly improved hyperthermia technology[25] and treatment efficacy, including pioneering intra-operative treatment of pancreatic cancer.[26]
She has been the technical manager of numerous
