LAEFF

I am working at LAEFF, in the Spanish Virtual Observatory. In the
near future I will be making programs to analyze light curves and
applying some data mining techniques to the data. Now I am
programming shell scripts for automated tasks.

My life seems to be outside the Earth (my former job was on
Astrobiology), but I am a computer engineer. So almost everything
about stars, galaxies and energy sources are fascinating new things
for me.

Just to satisfy the little scientist inside of me I am doing my PhD
on Artificial Intelligence, particularly on classification
techniques for variable stars. In collaboration with Luis Manuel
Sarro from the UNED (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia)
we get results which were presented in ADASS (year 2005). At this
moment we are preparing the classificator that will be used for the
CoRoT mission.

So if you need something about (semi)Naive Bayes or Bayesian
classifiers I am your man.
