Head of the Computational Intelligence for Computational Biology <\/strong>group\u00a0 \/\/ <\/strong>CI4CB<\/a> I am full professor in computer engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Western Switzerland at the Yverdon site (HEIG-VD). I lead the Biomedical Applications Axis at the ICT department which belongs to the Health, Engineering and Economics (HEE) group. My research team, named Computational Intelligence for Computational Biology (CI4CB), is affiliated to the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (SIB).<\/p>\n My central professional interest concerns the different interfaces between life and engineering sciences. This includes mostly biologically-inspired computational techniques on the one side and bioinformatics and computational biology on the other side.<\/p>\n I teach biology and bioinformatics-related courses to computer and communication engineers with solid technical profile who has usually little scientific background. This is both an interesting challenge and an opportunity.<\/p>\n Research Interests and Expertise: Other Interests: Specialties: Computational intelligence: fuzzy systems, neural networks, evolutionary algorithms; Computational biology and bioinformatics; computational biomarker discovery; computational engineering: modelling, optimization, data analysis;<\/p>\n University \u00ab\u00a0Autonoma de Occidente\u00a0\u00bb, Cali, Colombia, May 2015.
