José Manuel Bote

JosĂ© Manuel Bote received the M.Sc. degree in Physics and the Master of Electronics & Photonics from the Complutense University of Madrid, Spain. His Master’s Thesis focused on blood pressure estimation with a non-invasive technique based on ECG and PPG.

Currently, he is a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the same university. His main research interests are bioinformatics, signal processing and low-power embedded systems.

Javier Setoain

Javier Setoain received his PhD. in Computer Science in 2013 from the University Complutense of Madrid (Spain) for his research on hyperspectral imaging on GPUs. He is currently working as a research associate with the Department of Computer Architecture and Automatic Control at the University Complutense of Madrid.

His research has been focused on manycore architectures and computer image processing during his PhD. and bioinformatics during a short period of time afterwards. He is currently working on architectural impact of new resistive memory technologies  in the IoT ecosystem.

Franklin Parrales Bravo

Franklin Parrales is a PhD. Student at Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) and also works as a Teaching Assistant at University of Guayaquil – Ecuador(UG).

He achieved his MsC in Master in Computer Engineering at Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) in 2015, where he was granted with a scholarship to develop his Master Thesis in the Department of Computer Architecture and Automation(DACYA-UCM) by the Ecuadorian Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation (SENESCYT) under the 165-ARG5-2013 grant. His Master Thesis focused on a Support System to Improve Reading Activity in Parkinson’s Disease and Essential Tremor Patients.

Franklin Parrales has been granted a predoctoral fellowship by SENESCYT-Ecuador under the 8905-AR5G-2016 grant, to develop his PhD thesis titled Data processing methodologies in the area of E-Health for categorizing therapeutic responses in patients with migraine. He also has been granted with the HIPEAC collaboration grant (H2020-ICT-2015-687689) September 2017- January 2018 for collaboration between Universidad Complutense de Madrid and the Josef Stefan Institute.

His main area of research is e-Health, data mining and machine learning.
