Ana Ezquerro

PhD student @ TU Graz (IML)

Hi:wave: I am a first-year PhD student at the Institute of Machine Learning and Neural Computation, Graz University of Technology, supervised by Ozan Özdenizci. I hold a BSc in Data Science and Engineering and a MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of A Coruña.

My early research at the MODES group focused on time series analysis and machine learning methods applied to statistics (2021-2022). Afterward, I shifted toward graph and tree parsing (2023-2025) within the LyS Group, where I had the privilege to closely collaborate with Carlos Gómez-Rodríguez and David Vilares. Currently, my research interests are evolving to efficient and robust deep learning, as part of my PhD at TU Graz within the Bilateral AI project.
