Maria del Rosario Gomez Lopez serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Public International, Criminal and Procedural Law at the University of Cádiz, Spain. She maintains active research affiliations with the Andalusian Interuniversity Institute of Criminology (IAIC) and leads the SEJ378 research group focused on Criminal System, Crime and Security within the Social, Economic and Legal Sciences domain. Dr. Gomez Lopez earned her PhD from the University of Cádiz in 2017 with doctoral thesis "The Immigrant Woman Victim of Gender Violence in Spain. A Criminological, Criminal Dogmatic, and Criminal Policy Analysis," supervised by Dr. María Acale Sánchez. Her academic credentials establish foundational expertise in the intersection of immigration, gender, and criminal justice systems.
