I am full professor with the Department of Signal Theory, Networking and Communications and researcher in the Information and Communication Technologies Research Centre, CITIC for its initials in Spanish, both at the University of Granada, Spain. Additionally, I belong to the Scientific Advisory Board of ReKom Biotech.
I hold a degree in Computer Science from the University of Granada (2003) and a Ph.D. from the Technical University of Valencia (2007). My Ph.D. was awarded with the second Rosina Ribalta Prize to the best Ph.D. projects in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) from the EPSON Foundation, and with the D.L. Massart Award in Chemometrics from the Belgian Chemometrics Society. I worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Girona, granted by the Juan de la Cierva program, and was a Fulbright fellow in 2018 at the Dartmouth College, USA.
My research interests include exploratory data analysis, machine learning and inferential statistics with multivariate techniques applied to data of very different nature, including personalized medicine, molecular biology, chemomistry and communication networks. I have authored more than 50 publications in impact journals (JCR), with 30 papers as first author and 4 as the only author, and a similar number of publications in conferences and workshops. I have participated in 20 research projects and collaborate actively in three open software projects in Github.
