I am a geneticist and computational biologist working as a Profesor Titular of genetics in the University of Vigo. I am interested in the interface of biology, mathematics and scientific computing.

 

My recent research is focused on the study of evolution from an information theoretic approach. For example, I have been working in the description of non-random mating effects in terms of the information theory and have developed a framework for performing multimodel inference on some direct mating parameters. This framework is called InfoMating. I also maintain the package Myriads for performing multiple testing corrections. Currently I am using information theory for the study of genomic patterns in HPV and other viruses.
