About me

I am Miguel López-Pérez, a lecturer at the University of Granada. I am board member of RISE-MICCAI as tutorial coordinator and volunteer in Pint of Science.

I do research in methodology of machine learning and its applications (mainly) to the medical imaging domain. I have a wide experience in computational pathology and probabilistic models. I am also interested in topics related to:

• Fairness
• Generative models
• Uncertainty quantification
• Explainability

I received the outstanding doctoral thesis award in the course (2021/2022).

📅 Dec 7, 2025 - Presenting at MedEURIPS!

We presented an ongoing work on Uncertainty Quantification in VAEs and its application to fairness in medical imaging.

📅 Sept 22, 2025 - Tutorial at FAIMI

I contributed with a hands-on session in the tutorial of FAIMI, which is about Fairness in Medical Imaging. It was an amazing time in MICCAI, BTW!

📅 Sept 16, 2025 - New beginning at University of Granada as an interim lecturer

Today, I start a new chapter in my life. I come back to Granada to gave classes as an interim lecturer. This is a temporary position but I can get engaged with students to carry out new projects! Feels exciting! :)

📅 Apr 18, 2025 - New Histopathology dataset published at Scientific data

The AI4SkIN dataset is out! Check it out. It contains 641 WSIs from 2 Spanish hospitals with multiple annotators.

📅 March 26, 2025 - New paper accepted at SCIA!

New paper accepted during my visit to DTU. Are generative models fair? In this paper, we study the racial bias in dermatology images using a VAE.

📅 March 18, 2025 - New preprint!

New preprint during my visit to DTU. We explore the extension of UQ methods to high-dimensional output models as VAE in medical imaging.

📅 Jan 1, 2025 — Starting a new visit at DTU funded by José Castillejo fellowship

I started a new visit to DTU. I’m going to resume some exciting topics about UQ and fairness with Aasa and Søren.

📅 Dec 28, 2024 — New university grant!

I’ve been awarded with a small grant from my university to do trustworthy AI models for skin cancer. These funds will allow me to go to some conferences next year and buy new material!

📅 Jun 17, 2024 — New MICCAI paper

Our MICCAI’s submission with Natalia have been accepted publication! It’s about domain adaptation in anomaly detection for whole slide images.

📅 Jun 1, 2024 — Visit to DTU

I have started a 4-month visit at DTU under the supervision of Aasa Feragen and Søren Hauberg. I’ll explore UQ and fairnes in generative models. Pretty exciting!

📅 Jan 1, 2024 — New Postdoctoral fellowship start

I’m starting as a Juan de la Cierva fellow at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). I’m truly thrilled, as this is one of the most competitive postdoctoral fellowships for early-career researchers.
