Biography

Enrique Frias-Martinez is a Researcher at Telefonica Investigacion y Desarrollo in Madrid, Spain. Before joining Telefonica, Enrique was a Senior Researcher at the Biomedical Engineering Department of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), from 2006 to 2008. Previously he worked at the Department of Information Systems & Computing of Brunel University, London (UK) as a Research Fellow (2003-2006) and as a postdoctoral researcher at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, New York (2001-2003). His current research interests include soft computing, data mining, web mining, personalization, machine learning, and human-computer interaction, areas in which he has published extensively.

He has received a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, Madrid, Spain, in 2000, and a Ph.D. degree in Information Systems from Brunel University, London, U.K., in 2007. Dr. Frias-Martinez was the recipient of the Best Ph.D. Thesis Award of the School of Computer Science 2001, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid.
