CV
Alba Garrido López is a teaching assistant and Ph.D. candidate in the Communications Technologies and Systems programme at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). She conducts her doctoral research within the Signal Processing Applications Group (GAPS), under the supervision of Dr. Juan Parras Moral.
She holds a B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering and an M.Sc. in Signal Theory and Communications, with a specialization in Machine Learning for Big Data, both from UPM. Prior to beginning her doctoral studies, she worked at Hospital Universitario La Paz on the automatic segmentation of transcranial ultrasound images using deep learning.
Her current research focuses on artificial intelligence for personalized medicine, particularly deep generative models, survival analysis, causal inference, and synthetic data generation for multimodal biomedical data.
