Mª José Rupérez received a PhD by the Technical University of Valencia after a successful viva on July, the 6th. Dr. Rupérez carried out a work on multidisciplinary techniques to help in the simulation of the contact between the foot and the shoe upper when walking; in particular, she worked on Vitual Reality, Finite Element Methods and Machine Learning. Her work has been co-supervised by IDAL member Dr. José D. Martín. IDAL member Dr. Juan Gómez was the Secretary of the International Panel of examiners. IDAL congratulates Mª José for an excellent research and well-done work and wishes her a successful post-doctoral research.

Prof. A.J. Serrano, egregious IDAL member, has achieved today his permanent position at the University of Valencia. In a 3 hour test, he has defended a pedagogic project to teach a subject in Analog Electronics, and his curriculum, which has been mainly developed in machine learning, intelligent data analysis and neural networks, applied to bioengineering.
Congratulations to our new professor!
Ian H. Jarman and Terence A. Etchells, post-doctoral researchers of the Liverpool John Moores University (United Kingdom) will start a research stay with IDAL in the next weeks. The main topics of the joint research will include discrete clustering and graphical models, as well as some practical applications of those methods. Dr. Jarman worked on an integrated framework for risk profiling of breast cancer patients in his Ph.D, while Dr. Etchells worked on an efficient method for rule extraction from neural networks. Currently, both researchers are especially involved with the Public Health Research Centre of the LJMU, although their research also deals with theoretical aspects of Machine Learning algorithms and their applications beyond Public Health. IDAL has collaborated with the group of Statistics and Neural Computing of the LJMU, led by Prof. Paulo J. G. Lisboa since 2003.
