I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Ciego de Ávila, Cuba, in 2007 and I received my PhD. degree in 2014 from the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE), Mexico.

I have developed software to solve pattern recognition problems. A successful example is the algorithm DMC which is the most accurate (according to EER) among those which compare both fingerprints and palmprints in the international competition FVC-onGoing.

I have been involved in several research projects about pattern recognition and I have published tens of papers in referenced journals such as "Pattern Recognition," "Knowledge-Based Systems," "Information Sciences", and "IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security."
