Predoctoral researcher
Pathological aging
María Sevilla García is currently pursuing her doctorate at the Polytechnic University of Madrid under the supervision of Dr. Andrés Santos and Dr. Federico Ramírez.
In 2021 he graduated in Biomedical Engineering from the Rey Juan Carlos University and in 2022 he obtained a master’s degree in Neuroscience from the Complutense University of Madrid. Since then, he has focused his research on studying the different changes that occur in brain structural connectivity during healthy and pathological aging.
In addition to her main line of research, María is one of the main collaborators of the project “Effectiveness of the Combined Intervention in Cognition and Neuromodulation in Relatives of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Elderly People with Subjective Memory Complaints”, which seeks to implement early interventions to prevent the cognitive deterioration associated with AD.
Between October 2023 and February 2024, he spent a stay at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), thanks to a project funded by TRISH, in collaboration with NASA. To this day, he continues to collaborate on this project, investigating, through electroencephalography (EEG) signals, how microgravity affects the brain activity of astronauts.
María combines her solid academic training with a strong commitment to advancing biomedical research in the fields of neuroscience, neuromodulation and brain connectivity.
