Amelia Villegas Morcillo

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Delft University of Technology, as part of the Delft Bioinformatics Lab, working on AI-assisted drug discovery.

Previously, I completed my PhD at University of Granada. During my thesis, I worked on protein prediction tasks using machine learning and deep learning methods.

My research interests focus on developing computational methods to understand the natural world. So far, I have worked on topics including spoken language recognition, and protein structure and function prediction using representation learning techniques.

I am looking to expand my knowledge on these topics in order to build towards the application of deep learning techniques in healthcare research.
