As a research fellow in Edinburgh and co-principal investigator in the HealthAgents project, Horacio Gonzalez-Velez leads the scientific dissemination of this innovative research and commercial endeavour for the analysis and prognosis of brain tumours using distributed agent technology. He also serves in the HealthAgents project management committee.
Horacio has spent over ten years in the ICT industry with Alpha Microsystems, Silicon Graphics and Sun Microsystems in the US and Mexico. He has held several positions in systems engineering and marketing, including director of marketing for Sun-Mexico, director of product competition for Sun-Latin America, and senior systems engineer in AlphaMicro, Sun, and SGI. His core competencies in the industrial side include product marketing, enterprise computing, and the design of high-end architectural solutions.
Educated in computational science in the UK, Japan, and Mexico, he holds a doctorate from the University of Edinburgh, where he worked with the structured parallelism group. His doctoral research addresses the automatic scheduling of parallel patterns (algorithmic skeletons) in heterogeneous systems.
He has published a few papers in parallel computing and biomedical applications, taught in universities in Mexico and the UK, and presented in relevant commercial and scientific fora across the world.
