  • Human Computer Interaction

    Human computer interaction is performed in different ways and increasingly in more types of devices. The way we access information, process it, and communicate back with a machine should be done in an intuitive and convenient way to obtain a good user experience.

  • NoSQL technologies applied to Life Sciences

    Present bioinformatics faces an exponential growth of data. Genomics, clinical records, or simulation data accumulate terabytes of data that require new ways of storage. NoSQL database managers have become increasingly popular as an easily scalable solution to data management in biology.

  • Scientific Visualization and storytelling

    Science needs to be shared among peers to foster its advance, and it needs to return to society to close the investment cycle. We develop visual strategies to help scientists to communicate their research, trying to find the most suitable solution for each dataset and for each story.
