Claudia Mazo is an Assistant Profesor at Dublin City University (DCU) since 2022, a management committee member of the COST Action: CA22103 - A Comprehensive Network Against Brain Cancer from 2023, and an Ad Honorem Lecturer at Universidad del Valle since 2019. From 2021 to 2022, she was a Research Fellow at University College Dublin (UCD). From 2017 to 2021, she was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow with UCD Computer Science School, CeADAR, and Oncomark Ltd, Dublin - Ireland. From 2017 to 2018, she worked as a Researcher at Vicomtech with the eHealth and Biomedical Applications Area, San Sebastian-Donostia, Spain. She received a double degree PhD, the first one in Engineering in Production and Computing Doctorate from the Universidad de León, León, Spain, in 2016, and the second one in Engineering Doctorate with Emphasis in Computer Science from the Universidad del Valle, Cali, in 2017. From 2009 to 2011, she worked as a young researcher at the Universidad del Valle with the Multimedia and Computer Vision Group.

She has achieved publications in national and international conferences and journals with recognised impact, as the main author. Her research interests include machine learning, image processing, pattern recognition, computer vision, and personalised medicine.
