Experto

Coordinador de un challenge o competición internacional para fomentar el desarrollo de algoritmos de tracking celular (https://celltrackingchallenge.net). Esta iniciativa ha tenido una gran repercusión, dando lugar también a numerosas publicaciones entre las que destacan Maska et. al (Bioinformatics 2014) y Ulman et al. (Nature Methods 2017).
Ha desarrollado numerosas herramientas de análisis de imagen disponibles en dominio público para filtrado, registro, segmentación y análisis de imagen, mayoritariamente para su uso en aplicaciones biomédicas.
