Melani Sánchez García received a PhD in Computer Science and Systems Engineering from Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain, as well as a BS in Chemical Engineering and a MS in Chemical Engineering from Universidad de Valencia, Spain. After that, she was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Bionic Vision Lab at UC Santa Barbara.

Melani's main research interests lie in Computer Vision and Deep Learning. She's particularly excited about conducting research in simulated prosthetic vision (SPV) and building immersive virtual reality (VR) systems of SPV that combine computational modeling of the brain with different computer vision algorithms.
