JESUS MARIA RODRIGUEZ

Jesus Maria Rodriguez Presedo is a Professor in the Department of Electronics and Computing at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC), affiliated with the Faculty of Physics and the Center for Research in Intelligent Technologies (CITIUS). He leads the GSI Group (Intelligent Systems Group) and focuses on biomedical signal processing, particularly in Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis, neural networks, and telemedicine solutions. His work integrates machine learning, stochastic modeling, and clinical applications to improve cardiac monitoring and diagnostic tools.

Dr. Rodriguez earned his PhD from USC in 1994 with a thesis on intelligent ischemia monitoring, advised by Dr. Senén Barro and Dr. Ramón Ruiz Merino. His research emphasizes HRV analysis, biosignal interpretation, and software development (e.g., the RHRV package). He has contributed to telemonitoring systems for patients with chronic conditions like sleep apnea and COPD, leveraging multiagent systems and ubiquitous computing.

His recent work explores nonlinear dynamics in time series, stochastic embeddings via variational autoencoders, and adaptive neural networks for multichannel signal analysis. Applications span cardiac event detection, ECG segmentation, and abductive frameworks for medical diagnostics.
