Ana Serrano is an Associate Professor at the Universidad de Zaragoza, affiliated with the Graphics & Imaging Lab in the College of Engineering. Her research lies at the intersection of visual computing, perceptual modeling, and virtual reality, with a focus on improving user experience through perceptually-driven tools for content creation. Her research interests span computational imaging, material appearance perception and editing, virtual reality, and crossmodal perception. She investigates how human perceptual systems can inform the design of more effective and immersive visual technologies, particularly in VR environments. Her work integrates psychophysics, machine learning, and computer graphics to develop models of attention, saliency, and appearance perception. The recent publications (2023–2025) reflect a strong trend in perceptual modeling in immersive environments, with a focus on audiovisual integration, saliency prediction (AViSal360, SAL3D), HDR rendering (Cinematic Gaussians), and material appearance (gloss prediction). Many works combine deep learning with human perception studies, often validated through user experiments. There is a consistent emphasis on real-world applicability in VR content creation and cinematic VR. Eurographics 2020 PhD Award Eurographics 2023 Young Researcher Award VGTC VR 2024 Significant New Researcher Award Adobe Research Fellowship (Honorable Mention, 2017) NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship (2018) Ana Serrano actively supervises PhD and Master’s students and has taught courses such as Virtual Reality and Computational Imaging. She has secured research funding from ERC and national grants. She serves on editorial boards of Computer Graphics Forum , ACM Transactions on Applied Perception , and Computers & Graphics , and has chaired major conferences including Eurographics 2023 Tutorials and SAP 2022. She leads the Graphics & Imaging Lab, which conducts interdisciplinary research combining computer graphics, perception, and machine learning.
