Brief Bio

Curriculum Vitae

María Bravo is a final-year PhD student in the Computer Vision group at the University of Freiburg, Germany, under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Brox. Her research focuses on advancing vision-language models for open-vocabulary recognition and generative evaluation.

María earned her Bachelor's degrees in Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering from the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia, in 2016. In 2018, she completed her Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering at the same university, where she worked as a Research Assistant under the guidance of Prof. Pablo Arbeláez. During her Master's studies, she contributed to three main projects in Computer Vision: Video Object Segmentation, Automatic Diabetic Retinopathy Classification, and Bone Age Detection through Carpogram Analysis. She financed her Master's degree through a project supported by a research grant from the DFG-Colombian Academic Cooperation.

In March 2018, María conducted a research visit to the University of Freiburg to finalize her Master's thesis on Video Object Segmentation. Following graduation in 2018, she undertook a five-month research internship at KAUST in Saudi Arabia, advised by Prof. Bernard Ghanem. In October 2019, she was awarded a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) to pursue her PhD in the Computer Vision group in Freiburg.

In 2024, María worked as an Applied Research Intern at Amazon in Tübingen, focusing on Vision-Language alignment and Generative AI.
