Esther Ibáñez Marcelo
Current position (from April 2024):
Professor (Lecturer) at UOC (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya).
in the Computer Science, Multimedia and Telecommunications Department
Last positions:
Data Scientist at AilyLabs (2023-2024)
Main project: Image recognition project: Parse hand-written logs of industrial processes (related to syringe filling) as a first-step to understand the current inefficiences and minimize them.
Postdoctoral Researcher at ISI Foundation (2022-2023)
Working on human behaviour project and a sentimental analysis + network project
Data Scientist in the AI Lab at ISI Foundation (2019-2022)
Working on a Data Quality and Risk Overlay project
Postdoc position at ISI Foundation (2015-2019)
in the project
ADnD: Algebraic-topological Detection of neurodegenerative Diseases
Main research topics:
Topological Data Analysis
Genotype-phenotype networks
Phylogenetic reconstruction
My main research interest lie in two broad areas: use mathematical tools to unveil the information hidden in data (in particular biological data); and test to which extent simple models based on networks and dynamical systems can reproduce many of the features appearing on real biological data.
Easy Tool with interface to apply Persistent Homology: Try it! (Python 2.7, not tested on Python 3)
Easy_PH: Compute with a GUI Persistent Homology!!
