Elvira Mayordomo (Zaragoza 1967) is a Computer Science Professor at the University of Zaragoza (Spain) since 2007, having obtained the national Habilitation in a highly competitive contest. She is also an "Associate Professor" (with a "Collaborator" appointment) of the Department of Computer Science at Iowa State University (USA) since 2004.

Her research topics include, within Theoretical Computer Science, algorithmic information theory, algorithmic geometric measure theory and computational complexity, and within Bioinformatics, computational phylogeny, computational genomics and their applications, involving machine learning methods in both phylogeny and genomics.

She has been positively evaluated for 5 six-year research periods by the Spanish national agency CNEAI.

She is President of the scientific association Computability in Europe (CiE).

She is an Associate Editor of the ACM Transactions on Computation Theory, Computability, Theory of Computing Systems journals, and Journal of Symbolic Logic.
She has been a member of the program committee of more than 30 international congresses (in three of those occasions PC chair).

She has published a good number of articles in high-impact journals in Theoretical Computer Science and Bioinformatics, including several in the Journal of Computer and System Sciences, SIAM Journal on Computing, Information and Computation and BMC Bioinformatics, all in the first quarter of their category according to impact factor

The impact of her contributions is high, since at least 1800 citations to all her works can be found (h-factor=22, i10-factor=39). Her name has appeared during 14 years among the 10,000 most cited authors of Informatics according to citeseer. Two of her articles have appeared for three months among the 25 most consulted articles of the journals Information & Computation and Journal of Computer and Systems Sciences.

Her research is particularly international; most of her papers have international coauthors with a total of 23 international different coauthors of 16 institutions in 6 countries. She is frequently invited to Schloss Dagstuhl research center in Germany (8 times) as well as to other similar centers all over the world that organize specialized research meetings that can be attended by invitation only (Erwin Schrödinger International Institute in Viena, Oberwolfach and Mathematics Center Heidelberg (MatCH) in Germany, American Institute of Mathematics in Palo Alto, Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, Banff  International Research Station in Canada and China, Fields Institute for Research in Canada, and other in France, Russia, Singapore, and Japan).

She has been Principal Investigator of national research grants for 25 years. She has also participated in international projects financed by the European Union and by the US government NSF.

She has been twice a member of the advising committee of the Spanish national research agency CNEAI, as well as member of the selection committee for National I+D projects in Computer Technologies on four occasions.

She has given plenary lectures at several major international conferences, in addition she has published a considerable number of articles at international peer-reviewed conferences, including those with the greatest impact in its area.

She has advised 5 PhD dissertations.
