XIII Girls in ICT Day – 2025

Marta Losada Estévez: Graduate in Physics from USC and our colleague at CESGA. In her third year of college, she did an internship at CESGA, where she first came into contact with the concept of “quantum computing.” Since then, she has continued her training in the field with her Bachelor’s thesis and in the Master’s in Quantum Information Science and Technologies from USC. She is currently part of a group that is developing a distributed quantum computing simulator, a job she combines with her master’s studies. With her Master’s thesis, she intends to study the implementation of distributed quantum computing for variational circuits and hopes to continue researching in this line in the future.

Yolanda Blanco Fernández: Doctor in Telecommunication Engineering and tenured professor in the Department of Telematic Engineering at the University of Vigo (UVigo). She works as a researcher at atlanTTic, the Telecommunication Technologies Center of UVigo, where she served as deputy director until assuming her current position as director of the Digitalization Area of this university. ¹ Her research activity includes personalization and recommendation systems (user modeling techniques and filtering strategies), Semantic Web, development of services and applications for mobile ad-hoc networks and, more recently, in the field of Artificial Intelligence, she is focused on the use of Deep Learning models based on Transformer architectures for natural language processing in different application domains.

Nadezhda Lucía Techera Salvador: Student of the Aerospace Engineering degree at the University of Vigo and part of the Aerodynamics department in the UVigo Motorsport association, the only Galician team in “Formula Student,” an automotive competition between students from universities around the world that promotes excellence in engineering through a car competition where each university team designs and builds a single-seater vehicle with which they later compete.
