Adriana de Lorenzo-Cáceres Rodríguez ("de Lorenzo-Cáceres" for scientific publications) is a Ramón y Cajal researcher and teacher at Universidad de La Laguna (ULL), as well as researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) according to the agreement between both institutions. Her research field is Extragalactic Astrophysics, expert in the spectroscopic analysis of non-resolved stellar populations in galaxies, with particular interest in the study of galactic stellar structures and Milky Way analogues. 

She obtained her Physics Degree in 2005, being awarded with the Premio Nacional Fin de Carrera by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Education, as well as the Premio Extraordinario Fin de Carrera by ULL. She carried out her PhD project, entitled "Galaxies with multiple bars: constraints on their formation scenarios", at the IAC, tutored by Dr. Alexandre Vazdekis. Her academic career includes posts at University of St Andrews (UK), Universidad de Granada, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and Universidad Complutense de Madrid. In 2017, she came back to Tenerife as a postdoctoral researcher at IAC. Eventually, she obtained the prestigious IAC's Severo Ochoa Advanced Fellowship and Ramón y Cajal Fellowship.

She is coprincipal investigator of the international project BEARD (Bulgeless Evolution And the Rise of Discs), aimed at understanding the formation and evolution of Milky Way-like galaxies throughout the combination of both multi-mode and multi-frequency observations, and numerical simulations of bulgeless galaxies. She furthermore is principal investigator of the IAC's CEMWAY (Cosmic Evolution of Milky WAY-like galaxies) group, and Deputy Project Scientist for HARMONI, the first-light integral-field spectrograph for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT; currently under construction in Chile).

de Lorenzo-Cáceres is highly committed to science dissemination and gender balance in STEM areas. She created and coordinates the Gaveta de Astrofísica section, published biweekly in El Día newspaper. She also created the "Chatea con una Astrónoma" activity for the Spanish Astronomical Society, and participates in multiple actions related to outreach, equity, and inclusion.

In 2023, she was recognised as Hija Predilecta de la Isla de Tenerife due to her contributions to science and society. In 2025, she received the "Mujeres Excelentes" award by the Canary Islands Government and the Artículo 14 newspaper.
