Dr. Victor López de Rioja, currently a postdoctoral researcher in Biophysics at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Spain), holds a BSc and MSc in Physics (2012) and Nuclear Physics (2014) from the University of Barcelona and a Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences (2019) from the University of Girona. His expertise includes mathematical modeling in health, biophysics, and the dynamics of infectious diseases and other populations. Dr. López de Rioja has worked with the country's public health authorities on COVID-19 predictive models and with hospital data to predict new hospitalizations for respiratory diseases. He is interested in applying AI to public health data analysis and studying the interplay between environmental pollution and children's health. A strong proponent of interdisciplinary approaches, Dr. López de Rioja's work reflects a deep commitment to connecting complex mathematical theories to tangible health outcomes.
