Researcher in the Department of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation at the University of Girona. I'm a member of the 4T Laboratory in the Control Engineering and Intelligent Systems Group. Currently, my research interests are focused in contributing to the development of machine learning techniques for Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) to increase productivity and efectiveness in healthcare.

• PhD in Technology at the University of Girona (2012).
• Master of Science in Electronics Engineering at the University Autonomous of Barcelona (1999).

• Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS).
• Machine learning.
• Abstraction and Numeric-symbolic interface.
• Signal and Qualitative Analysis.
• Fault Diagnosis using Qualitative Reasoning.
