Gabriele Kasparaviciute

Gabriele Kasparaviciute is a PhD candidate in Marine Technology at NTNU. With a background in engineering and economics, she applies interdisciplinary methods to underwater robotics with a focus on planning, autonomy, and operations research. Her 2024 Ocean Engineering paper presents an energy-aware routing framework for pipeline inspection with RAUVs, combining optimization models with field-validated vehicle data from LAUV deployments. She also works on mission planning for docking-capable underwater vehicles, contributing to both pool and fjord trials involving subsea charging stations. Her research bridges simulation, algorithm development, and real-world validation, and includes earlier work on anomaly detection in embedded systems and simulation-based learning for robotic behavior.
