Životopis
Marina Bagić Babac je izvanredna profesorica na Zavodu za primijenjeno računarstvo, gdje se aktivno bavi znanstvenim istraživanjima u području umjetne inteligencije, sudjelujući u nekoliko međunarodnih projekata koji istražuju ljudske misli i emocije pomoću strojnog učenja i obrade prirodnog jezika. Kao mentorica, vodila je mnoge završne, diplomske i doktorske radove, ponajviše na teme povezane s umjetnom inteligencijom i strojnim učenjem.
Diplomirala je na Zavodu za telekomunikacije Fakulteta elektrotehnike i računarstva s naglaskom na znanstveno-istraživački rad. Na početku karijere radila je kao C/C++ programerka u tvrtki STROM Telecom u Pragu.
Stekla je titulu magistrice znanosti obranom rada "Formalni model za specifikacije agenata mobilnih telekomunikacija" te doktorirala s disertacijom "Verifikacija dinamičkih epistemoloških svojstava u višeaagentskim sustavima". Tijekom poslijediplomskog studija usavršavala se na Univerza v Mariboru Fakulteta za elektrotehniko, računalništvo in informatiko te na Univerza v Ljubljani
Fakulteta za računalništvo in informatiko.
Uz tehničko obrazovanje, završila je i 4-godišnji studij novinarstva (smjerovi Tisak i Odnosi s javnošću) na Fakultetu političkih znanosti te stekla titulu diplomiranog novinara.
Aktivno doprinosi akademskoj zajednici kao članica programskih odbora nekoliko međunarodnih konferencija, članica uredništva različitih časopisa te recenzentica brojnih međunarodnih publikacija.
