Professional Profiles:

Education:

Maria Arostegi 🎓 earned her mathematics degree (Number Theory) in 1995 from EHU-UPV (Basque Country University), completing her final year of studies at L’Università degli Studi di Milano in Milano, Italy 🇮🇹. In 1996, she completed the Course on Pedagogical Aptitude. Over the next two years, she received grants to work in the mechanics department of LABEIN, focusing on Virtual Reality. She then obtained another grant from the “Bizkaiko Foru Aldundia” to further her training on Virtual Reality tools at VRAC (Virtual Reality Applications Center, Ames-IA), where she worked with the Carolina Cruz-Neira research team. During this period, she focused on geometric modeling, software navigation, and photo-realistic treatment.

Experience:

From then until 2017, Maria worked on various projects related to 3D modeling tools, graphic interaction, computation, and simulation in different scenarios. She specialized in developing software predictive tools for rolling mills, continuous casting, and reheating furnaces. Specifically, she developed the heating module in 1D, 2D, and 3D, as well as software interfaces for these steel processes. This involved mathematical development of the three-dimensional equations of heat transfer in steel processes and the (2D and 3D) View factor related to the geometrical shapes in the reheating furnace process for calculating radiation heat transfer.

Other Activity:

In 2017, Maria shifted her focus to studying mathematical algorithms for data analytics, machine learning, and big data technologies (such as Hadoop, Spark, etc.), receiving training in “Big data, Business Intelligence, and Data Science” through an online Master’s degree issued by INESEM. Since then, she has participated in several AI projects using techniques such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, clustering schemes, dimensional reduction, unbalanced strategies, regressive schemes, linear, lasso, elastic-net, SVMs, CART, RF, and assembly methods (bagging and boosting).

Currently, Maria is working on her thesis titled “Explainable continual learning over data streams” as part of the PhD program at UPV/EHV in the field of Information and Communication Technologies in Mobile Networks, while also working part-time.
