He is a full-time research professor at the Engineering Faculty – Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi (UASLP) in Mexico. He is research coordinator at the Research and Postgraduate Studies Center (UASLP). He did a postdoc at Tec de Monterrey campus Monterrey (2015). He received his MSc in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) in 2001. He obtained his PhD in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Birmingham (UK) in 2007. He is member of the Mexican Society on Artificial Intelligence, and also of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He is member of the National Research System (known as SNI), level 1. He is leader of the consolidated research group Intelligent Systems and Cybersecurity. He is paper reviewer of Neural Networks, Pattern Recognition journals (both from Elsevier) and IEEE Access. He is expert on artificial intelligence in research areas such as Data Mining, Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, Artificial Neural Networks, Evolutionary Computation, Computer Vision, Deep Learning, High Performance Computing, Bioinformatics and Astroinformatics. The current projects with artificial intelligence includes pattern recognition in time series (astrophysics), algorithms for classification and prediction in health (HIV, influenza, leukemia, etc.), fault diagnosis in batteries with artificial neural networks, and computer vision for the automotive industry (industry 4.0) and health (COVIDx dataset).
