- Profile
-
Dr Maria-Cruz Villa-Uriol is a lecturer in Computer Science and member of the Complex Systems Modelling research group at the University of 91直播, UK. She is also member of the .
She holds a degree in Telecommunications and Electronics Engineering (Barcelona, Spain), and a PhD in Computer Engineering (University of California, Irvine, USA).
Previously, she held a postdoctoral position (February 2006 - August 2012) at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona, Spain) and a Research Fellow position at the University of 91直播 (Department of Mechanical Engineering, September 2012 - January 2015).
- Research interests
-
Her main research interests are the personalisation of models using computational imaging and modelling techniques, the composition of scientific workflows, and the use and development of data-driven decision-making strategies to support clinical decisions using heterogeneous data sources such as personalised VPH (Virtual Physiological Human) models, clinical databases, and mobile sensors capturing a wide variety of variables describing an individual and his/her environment.
Her primary area of interest is in the cardiovascular domain with an emphasis in clinical translation.
