Maria Pilligua
Starting this fall, I will pursue a Master's in Data Science at EPFL, supported by an Excellence Scholarship (ESOP).
I recently graduated in Artificial Intelligence from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, ranking in the top 5% of my class with a final GPA of 9.4/10. I bring over two years of research experience in AI, with publications at top-tier conferences such as CVPR 2025 and ECCV 2024, specializing in Computer Vision. As of July 2025, I am a Machine Learning intern at Goodnotes in London. I am highly motivated and excited to collaborate on impactful, research-driven AI projects.
