Dr Alba García Seco de Herrera

I am a Distinguished Researcher in the School of Computer Science at UNED, Spain, and formerly a Senior Lecturer in the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering (CSEE) at the University of Essex, UK. As a mathematician, I enjoy applying mathematics and computational techniques to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools that model the complex realities found in the vast datasets available today. I also serve as one of the coordinators of the CLEF evaluation initiative, advancing global collaboration in the development of information access technologies.

My research interests lie broadly in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for computer vision, with a special focus on biomedical imaging, neuroimaging, information access, and evaluation. I am also interested in the challenges of Multimodal AI, where various data types—such as images, text, speech, and numerical data—are combined with multiple intelligence-processing algorithms to achieve enhanced performance. In many real-world problems, Multimodal AI often outperforms single-modal AI by leveraging diverse sources of information.
