Biography

Juan A. Botía, Phd. is Professor in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Murcia, Murcia, Spain. He is also Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Neurology, University College London, UK since July, 2017. Juan A. Botía is PhD in Computational Science and Artificial Intelligence(March 2002).He obtained a position at Universidad de Murcia as Reader in April 2009.
