Cristian Rodríguez Rivero: Lecturer, Ph.D, Electrical&Biomedical Engineer

My research is in data science and computational intelligence, and span (Bayesian) machine learning in stochastic control, optimization, time series analysis and forecasting for decision-making, signal processing in time/frequency domain and cognitive dynamic control for non-linear processes with constraints.
My work focuses on developing automated machine learning approaches to model these data, and statistical learning theory to analyze these models for system identification and forecasting with the help of image processing using computational intelligence with several applications in engineering and biomedical sciences.
