I am Manager Director for Science and Research of the Ministry of Education, Universities and Employment and a Full Professor at the Department of Computer Science of Universitat de Valencia. I carried my PhD training at the University of Valencia and Yale University (USA). My postdoctoral training (Juan de la Cierva Fellow) was at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, where I was Work Package Leader of a large European FP7 Integrated Project (EUHEART) that focused on cardiac modelling and simulation of the heart. I also had a main role in the EU funded Virtual Physiological Human Network of Excellence, where key imaging tools for cardiac modelling where developed. In 2010, I started the Computational Multiscale Simulation Lab (CoMMLab) at Universitat de Valencia, which focuses on modelling of cellular, tissue and organ structures of the heart. CoMMLab is one of the founders of the Spanish Network of Excellence of Cardiac Modelling.
A key part of my research has been devoted to the modelling and simulation of the cardiac conduction system from micro- to macroscopic scale. During the last years my research has focused on modeling scar-related ventricular tachycardia to optimize radiofrequency ablationtherapy planning.
I have supervised 7 PhD students, and published more than 100 research papers from which 45 were published in impacted peer-reviewed journals.
