Biography
I did my doctoral thesis in the Department of Physical Chemistry of the University of Valencia in the area of Computational Chemistry. I have a long experience in the field of high performance computing. I have written several articles on the application of parallelization in distributed environments in Computational Chemistry. In 1996 I joined the Computer Science Department. Since then my research has developed mainly in the areas of pattern recognition and data mining. As part of these studies, I have published several papers on the development of models for the characterization and prediction of the properties of drugs and potential drugs through their description by molecular topology. In recent years I have developed my research activity in the development and optimization of pattern recognition algorithms and in the development of improvements in the calculation of the Gabor transform. In March 2017 I joined the Integrative Institute of Systems Biology (I2SysBio), attracted by the conviction that my research experience is applicable in the fields of bioinformatics and computational biology and with the certainty that these share a common framework with Big Data techniques and pattern recognition that needs to be explored.
