Academic Achievements
- Co-authored 2 granted patents; participated in 15 research transfer projects, most of which are being exploited by private companies and public institutions; used mouse cursor movements for large-scale usability evaluations, predicting user engagement, aiding website revisitation, or restyling web design; used kinematic motor control models to synthesize stroke gestures with human-like characteristics that can generalize across user populations.
Research Experience
- Currently an Associate Professor (tenured) and Senior Research Scientist at the University of Luxembourg, Department of Computer Science; former postdoctoral scholar at Aalto University and research staff member (postdoctoral fellow) at the PRHLT research center, Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV); co-founder and former CTO of Sciling, a Spanish company specialized in Machine Learning solutions; visiting researcher at DFKI institute, hciLab, and User Interfaces group in Helsinki; visiting professor at FAMNIT (University of Primorska) in Slovenia.
Education
- PhD in Computer Science (with honors, international mention, and extraordinary doctorate award) in 2012. Also holds two BSc degrees — Industrial Design (2001) and Industrial Engineering (2005), an MSc in Communications and Mobile Services Development (2006), and a MAS in Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (2008) from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV).
Background
- Research interests: Intersection of Machine Learning and Human-Computer Interaction. Main research area is Computational Interaction, combining computational thinking with data-driven models and methods to enable, explain, and support user interaction.
Miscellany
- Fun fact: p-index is 0.6, meaning he doesn't usually profit from his co-authors.
