Miguel García Torres is an associate professor in the Escuela Politécnica Superior of the Universidad Pablo de Olavide. He received the BS degree in physics and the PhD degree in computer science from the Universidad de La Laguna, Tenerife, Spain, in 2001 and 2007, respectively. After obtaining the doctorate he held a postoc position in the Laboratory for Space Astrophysics and Theoretical Physics at the National institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA). There, he joined in the Gaia mission from the European Space Agency (ESA) and started to participate in the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC) as a member of “Astrophysical Parameters”, Coordination Unit (CU8). He has been involved in the “Object Clustering Analysis” (OCA) Development Unit since then. His research areas of interests include machine learning, metaheuristics, big data, time series forecasting, bioinformatics and astrostatistics.
