Topics of interest

I'm interested in computer vision systems, visual surveillance, ambient intelligence and neural networks. Among others, object recognition, tracking and interpreting its movement using neural networks, and in the application of these techniques for the creation of Human-Computer interfaces.

Research group

I belong to the research group Industrial Informatics and computer networks since 1999 and to the Institute of Informatics Research since 2009.
