Associate Professor at the Technical University of Valencia (UPV) and former Scientific Project Officer at the Joint Research Centre, European Commission. Lecturer in the Bachelor’s Degree in Informatics Engineering, Máster Universitario en Ingeniería Informática, and Master in Big Data Analytics at the UPV. Teaching Assistant in the Máster Universitario en Investigación en Inteligencia Artificial at UIMP. I received a B.Sc. degree in Computer Science (2009), M.Sc. degree in Software Engineering, Formal Methods and Information Systems (2010), a Post-Graduate Diploma in Engineering Business Management (2011) and a Ph.D in Computer Science (2016) from UPV. The evaluation and measurement of intelligent systems is, among other more applied research topics, the main scientific-technical objective of my research agenda.
