Currently teaching

Previous courses

The Art of Contest Programming is open to all UAM students. Its goal is to teach programming-contest skills, useful in such contests such as ACM-ICPC and, at a regional level, CUPCAM (where our teams have a great track record). These contests are both instructive and fun. Join the team!

Research

My main field of research has been clustered graph visualization, which I have applied to Adaptive Hypermedia (AH) courses, device network visualization, concept maps and similarity analysis. The clustered graph visualization framework I developed, Clover, is available online, as is the Wotan AH course system, for which a Clover-based editor was developed as part of my PhD thesis. I am also very proud of my work in the AC anti-plagiarism system.

I am a member of the OPAH group, which is part of the larger GHIA group. I am also a participant in the HADA project, directed to help disabled and elderly enjoy the benefits of technology.

See the my research page for more on my interests, publications and past and present research activities.
