Spotlight on Vanessa Gómez-Verdejo

#WomenInELLIS
Say hi to Vanessa Gómez-Verdejo, Full Professor at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid 🇪🇸. She’s an ELLIS Member and a part of the ELLIS Unit Madrid. Her research lies at the intersection of machine learning and biomedical applications.

She works on probabilistic and Bayesian models for complex, high-dimensional and multimodal data, with a strong focus on robustness, interpretability, and data efficiency.

She says, “One particularly meaningful achievement for me has been building a coherent research line around probabilistic and Bayesian machine learning methods applied to biomedical data, and seeing these ideas evolve from theoretical models into tools that can be used in real research settings. Working at the interface between machine learning and biology has taught me how important robustness, interpretability and data efficiency are when models are applied to sensitive, real-world data.”
