I'm an engineer with and PhD in Computer Science. I'm an Associate Professor in the Mathematics Department at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, in Bogotá (Colombia), working in computer science and applied math. My research interests include computational sustainability, specifically brain imaging and computational ecology. I'm leading the data analytics laboratory at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, where I work on computational sustainability problems interacting with the private and public sectors. Currently, I'm on sabbatical leave at the Joint International Research Unit on Consciousness, Laval University, CERVO Brain Research Centre.
Here is my cv.
Research
During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a research assistant in OHWAHA, a former research group in computer graphics and image processing in Colombia, under the supervision of Prof. Manuel Guillermo Forero. Later, I was involved in different research projects: e-learning systems, computer games, optimization tools for intelligent transportation systems, computer vision for monitoring, optical character, and fingerprint recognition. I finished my PhD (Summa Cum Laude) at the National University of Colombia under the advice of Prof. Eduardo Romero, working in virtual microscopy. Later, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Cyclotron Research center (Liege-Belgium) under the supervision of Prof. Steven Laureys, working on neuroimaging of consciousness. After returning to Colombia, I kept working in Brain Imaging and computational sustainability
