Our cherished colleague and head of IDAL, Dr. Marcelino Martínez-Sober, successfully passed his examination to get a Full Professorship on October 30th, 2019. The examination consisted of two parts: in the first one, Marcelino presented his CV and his teaching project for the subject “Digital Signal Processing”, that was considered as outstanding by the Evaluation Panel, thus enabling him to take part in the second part, where he presented his research project. The project dealt with anomaly detection in data sets, a hot research topic at present. All IDAL members congratulate Marcelino for his great achievement.
