Alejandro Guerrero-López
Who am I
Currently, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Medical Microbiology (IMM), University of Zurich (UZH), in Prof. Dr. Adrian Egli’s group.
Research. My research primarily focuses on advancing the field of Machine Learning by understanding and developing novel probabilistic models that address real-world biomedical problems. To overcome the common challenges encountered in the biomedical field (missing data, multimodalities, high-dimensional data), I am dedicated to learn, develop and apply Bayesian models that offer more accurate and reliable predictions. I have a deep interest in the fields of eXplainable AI (XAI). With the growing influence of AI technologies in our society, it is crucial to ensure transparency, trustworthiness, and ethical alignment.
Quick CV
I hold a Ph.D. with honors (cum laude) from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), where I worked on Bayesian Machine Learning applied to Clinical Microbiology supervised by Prof. Pablo M. Olmos and Prof. Vanessa Gómez-Verdejo, with the microbiology guidance of Dr. Belén Rodríguez-Sánchez. After that, I was a postdoc at the Applied Signal Processing Group at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) on speech impairment research under Prof. Juan I. Godino-Llorente and Prof. Julián D. Arias-Londoño. I am now a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Medical Microbiology (IMM), University of Zurich (UZH), in Prof. Dr. Adrian Egli’s group.
