Beatriz Blanco Besteiro

Beatriz Blanco Besteiro is an Assistant Professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela's Higher Polytechnic School of Engineering, affiliated with the Department of Electronics and Computing and the GSI Group (Intelligent Systems Group). Her research focuses on computational modeling of tumor dynamics, ultrasound therapeutics, and biomedical engineering applications. She also explores educational methodologies like project-based learning in engineering curricula.

She holds a Doctorate from the University of Granada (2023), with a thesis titled Modeling avascular tumor dynamics and low-intensity ultrasound therapeutics, advised by Dr. Guillermo Rus Carlborg and Dr. Juan Manuel Melchor Rodríguez. Her work bridges computational science and medical applications, including mechanotransduction studies and nondestructive material testing via ultrasonics.

Her recent articles analyze therapeutic ultrasound effects on cancer stem cells, plagiarism detection in programming assignments, and tumor growth mechanics. Research trends emphasize interdisciplinary approaches combining biophysics with computational tools for medical and educational challenges.

Blanco Besteiro contributes to the GSI Group's efforts in intelligent systems and has designed innovative engineering curricula using project-based learning frameworks. While no awards are explicitly listed, her active publication record reflects sustained research engagement in biomedical and educational technology domains.
