Conference of Prof. Sonia Pérez-Díaz

June 1, 2023 / Rafael Magdalena

Next July 20, the professor of Mathematics of the UAH Sonia Pérez Díaz will give the lecture “Mathematics and Engineering: a holistic approach”, in the Conference Room of the ETSE-UV (Salón Pelechano). Mrs Sonia Pérez has a long experience teaching mathematics in Engineering, and she is a specialist in algebraic geometry applied to engineering. Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics that combines geometry and algebra to study, for example, the solutions of systems of equations or to understand the geometric structure of sets of points that satisfy these equations. In the context of engineering, algebraic geometry provides tools to describe and manipulate geometric shapes using equations, and therefore has multiple applications including the design and representation of curves and surfaces, the analysis of the behavior of curves and surfaces to the analysis of the behavior of curves and surfaces through asymptotics or asymptotes or the modeling of three-dimensional shapes.

Sonia Pérez Díaz is the first full professor in the Dept. of Physics and Mathematics at the University of Alcalá (2022). She received in 2021 the international prize “lnternational Partnership Award for Scientists of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Beijing, China)”, which was awarded for the first time to a woman and for the first time in the area of mathematics. With more than 80 publications and 4 scientific books, her participation in more than 20 competitive research projects and her more than 45 participations as speaker or organizer in national and international congresses and conferences. His main works are framed in the contributions obtained in the field of Algebraic Geometry, Symbolic Computation and, in general, in the foundations, algorithms and applications of algebraic curves and surfaces. The results obtained by Pérez Díaz have laid important foundations for numerous applications in the framework, for example, of computer-aided geometric design.

Conference on Artificial Intelligence at the UV

June 14, 2022 / Rafael Magdalena

On 16 June, from 9:00 am in the Assembly Hall of the School of Engineering of the University of Valencia (ETSE-UV), the conference on Data, Information and Knowledge will take place as part of the activities organised by the artificial intelligence research group IDAL and the Pagoda Chair, subsidised by the Regional Ministry of Participation, Transparency, Cooperation and Democratic Quality, to raise awareness of the latest trends among Valencian companies.

From a business point of view, experts from various fields will discuss how to make the transition from data to information and from there to knowledge. Without going any further, the amount of data collected in all areas, whether structured in the form of numbers or in the form of text and images, is growing all the time. However, having data does not mean having information, let alone knowledge.

The talks and round table discussions, given by both researchers and company technicians, will deal with medical, social, technological, public administration, tourism and open data topics, among others. Participants include, among others, the Diputación de Albacete, Valencia City Council, the Ministry of Defence, the University of Valencia, and the companies Zeus, Deepsense, Bosonit, Pangeanic and Ford Valencia. The full programme and access to registration, which is free of charge, can be consulted on the IDAL website (https://idal.uv.es/datos_6/).

IDAL at UVAO (University of Valencia at Aras de los Olmos)

October 26, 2020 / Rafael Magdalena

IDAL has contributed in the conferences “Open Science for Citizens and Country Development” with a conference titled Data Science, the new environment for the forthcoming society”, presented by Rafael Magdalena and held at Aras de los Olmos (Valencia) as a session of Seasonal Universities program from the University of Valencia. This program aims to bring the public university close to the countryside of the Comunitat Valenciana, taking knowledge from researcher and Academy to country citizens. This Seasonal University deal with current news themes of interest for the country towns, and are free for residents thanks to the support of the Diputacion of Valencia.

The Seasonal Universities are a meeting point for lectures, professionals, students, technician and politicians, and also for citizens interested on their own town and country. This is an initiative open to the broad public, expecting to transfer the know-how of the university to the people, to foster the presence and commitment of the UV with the country and bring research, training and knowledge beyond the classroom.

IDAL at Expociencia2020

October 8, 2020 / Rafael Magdalena

Rafael Magdalena, IDAL member attended an interview presenting a Machine Learning introduction that will be hold within next weeks in Expociencia, the Science Fair fostered by Parc Cientific at the University of Valencia. During the Fair, prof. Emilio Soria will teach a lesson about Machine Learning to teenagers.

Like every year, the Science Park of the University of Valencia celebrates its Open Day, a celebration of science with fun activities for all ages and an opportunity to see first-hand the scientific and research activity that takes place in this space for innovation.

Emilio Soria coordinates a book on Cibersecurity

November 21, 2019 / Rafael Magdalena

Past Tuesday, in the events room of the University of Valencia Science Park, was presented an e-book, edited by the University of Valencia Science Park: Ciberseguretat. El repte del segle XXI (Cibersecurity: the Challenge on XXI Century). The volume has been coordinated by Emilio Soria, IDAL member and professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering of the University of Valencia, and incorporates the opinions of experts such as Óscar Padial, computer forensic expert and partner/manager of the Valencian Institute of Cyber-security and Telematics; Hervé Falciani, professional of blockchain and president of the Whistleblowe Tactical Association; José Torres, deputy director of the Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria (ETSE-UV) and full lecturer of the department of Electronic Engineering; researchers of the R&D group Intelligent Data Analysis Laboratory of the University of Valencia as well as managers of the company specialized in Information Technologies Mobiliza Academy, among others.

Joan Vila and Fernando Mateo, members of IDAL, have contributed with a chapter of the book, that can be downloaded in the following link: Download the e-book
