Antonio Manuel López Peña

He focuses his research in the field of Artificial Intelligence (IA) for Autonomous Driving, especially from the point of view of Computer Vision. In addition, he is a pioneer in the use of Computer Graphics and Simulation for the training and validation of these AIs, so that later they can work (drive) in the real world.

María Pilar Lusilla Palacios

MD PhD, she is specialist in Psychiatry. Experience in the following fields: Liason Psychiatry, dual diagnosis, mhealth, burnout and motivational interviewing.

Keywords: Liason Psychiatry, dual diagnosis, mhealth, burnout, motivational interviewing

Virginia Luzón Fernández

PhD in Audiovisual Communication, her work is divided mainly into two related areas: the history of the media and their new technologies. It has focused on the relationship of the media with the broader changes in society and new technologies, specifically on the changes that newsrooms have suffered with technological convergence and the significance of these changes in the contents of the news. She develops various lines of research in television, film, comics, youth, gender and sports in audiovisual media.

Keywords: cinema, television, comics, youth, gender, sports, narrative

Mercè Magaña Juárez

She is an expert in business plan and financial management.

Keywords: business plan, financial management

Assumpció Malgosa

She works in the study of human remains of both archaeological and current contexts, so the field of research is both physical and forensic anthropology. The studies she performs are very holistic and range from the osteological description to molecular studies (DNA), including paleodemography, paleopathology or paleodiet; all this to reconstruct the lives of individuals and the population from their remains, mainly skeletal. In the forensic field, the analyzes are directed at the identification.

Keywords: anthropology, skeletal remains, ancient DNA, paleodiet, paleopathology, diseases, antiquity, forensic anthropology, forensic DNA, identification

Ernest Marco Urrea

He is a member of the Biodegradation of Industrial Contaminants and Waste Valorization Group. His main research interest is the biological treatment of soils and groundwaters contaminated with chlorinated compounds. His research focuses on the application of techniques to assess the biodetoxification potential of contaminated groundwaters ; the understanding of the physiology, biochemistry and genomics of organohalide-respiring bacteria; and the application of this knowledge to implement projects to remediate groundwaters contaminated with chlorinated compounds in collaboration with different remediation companies.

Keywords: groundwater, soil, contamination, chlorinated compounds, bacteria, bioremediation, toxicity

Jean-Didier Maréchal

Professor Maréchal's field of expertise is the development and application of molecular modeling methods. Its main lines of research are located in the interface between chemistry, biology and materials science (eg. nanomolecules) and include the design of new (bio) catalysts and drug design. One of the singularities of its group is to work intensively with biosystems that mediated its activity thanks to transition metals. His team has created different software recently as a new molecular design program called GaudiMM and a free and extensive platform for Multiscale computing called Tangram.
