CURRICULUM

BIOGRAPHY

I have a B.Sc. degree in Computer Science, a B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering (both by the Univ. San Pablo CEU), a B.Sc. degree in Physics, a B.Sc. in Mathematics (both by the UNED) and a M.Sc. degree in Computer Science (speciality in Intelligent Systems, Univ. Santiago de Compostela). Currently, I am a PhD student in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence within the Centro de Investigación en Tecnoloxías da Información (CITIUS) at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), supported by a PhD grant of the Spanish government. My main research interest is the application of stochastic models and the theory of dynamical systems to biosignals, especially in the field of electrocardiography and heart rate variability analysis.
