La Comunidad NEUROTEC reúne a investigadores de distintos campos y disciplinas centrados en el estudio del cerebro. «NEUROTEC Interview Series» explorará el trabajo y la trayectoria profesional de destacados miembros de la comunidad.
Concha Bielza
Concha Bielza received the M.S. degree in Mathematics from Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain, in 1989 and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Madrid, in 1996 (extraordinary doctorate award). She is currently (since 2010) a Full Professor of Statistics and Operations Research with the Departamento de Inteligencia Artificial, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.
Her research interests are primarily in the areas of probabilistic graphical models, decision analysis, metaheuristics for optimization, data mining, classification models, and real applications, like biomedicine, bioinformatics, neuroscience, industry and sport analytics. She has published more than 150 papers in impact factor journals and has supervised 22 PhD theses. She was awarded the 2014 UPM Research Prize and the 2020 Research Award for Significant Contribution in the Field of Machine Learning (Amity University, India)
