Director of the Experimental Center Fernando Borrás Rocher.-

I finished my studies in Mathematics at the University of Valencia. I trained as a Professor at the University of Alicante and I am currently a University Professor of Statistics and Operations Research in the Department of Statistics, Mathematics and Computer Science of the “Miguel Hernández” University of Elche and I collaborate with the Ocular Neurobiology group of the Institute of Joint CSIC-UMH Neuroscience research group and with the Decision Support Web Systems group of the University Institute Center for Operations Research.

My teaching activity is carried out teaching the Biostatistics of the Medicine Degree in the Faculty of Medicine and the Tics subject in the education of the teacher’s master. My research has focused on the problem of locating hierarchical public services (hospitals, health centers). Another aspect in which we have deepened has been the location of the mobile emergency services (SAMU), determining where they must be parked to ensure a service that meets certain parameters of equity and efficiency, the result of which I obtained a doctorate in Sciences and Statistical techniques. Other areas such as Efficiency Analysis (DEA) and sampling are fields where we have achieved some interesting results.

Finally, the management of databases on the Internet is the last line that has managed to capture our attention. University management has been another task to which we have devoted effort, occupying the Coordination of the Diploma in Statistics and the Bachelor of Statistical Sciences and Techniques at the Miguel Hernández University during the 97/98 and 98/99 academic years, performing the functions of Deputy Vice-Rector for Academic Planning from academic year 99/00 to 02/03 and performing the duties of Vice-Rector for Students from October 2003 to May 2011.

From June 2011 to 2015 Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation and since 2015 Vice-Rector for Planning.

Members of the Coordination Council –

Mr. Francisco Sánchez del Campo, scientific director of Anatomical Innovation.
Mr. Eduardo Fernández Jover, scientific director of Biomedical Engineering.
Mr. Antonio F. Compan Rosique, scientific director of Experimental Surgery.
Mr. Juan Caturla Such, scientific director of Simulation of Critical Care and Health Emergencies.
Mr. José J. Mira Solves, scientific director of Patient Safety.
Mr. Federico Botella Beviá, scientific director of Technological Innovation and Electronic Health.

Federico Botella Bevía

Diploma in Computer Management, Computer Engineering and Doctor of Computer Engineering from the University of Alicante. Since 1997 he entered the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) where he is currently Professor of the University of Computer Languages and Systems in the Department of Statistics, Mathematics and Computer Science.

He is a researcher associated with the University Research Institute “Centro de Investigación Operativa” (CIO) of the UMH, since 1998, where he is Director of the Consolidated Research Group of the UMH “Web decision support systems (webdecision)”, where he has developed several projects of web systems and mobile applications, among others for the management of animal facilities, for the adherence to medication of multi-pathological and polymedicated patients or for the study of the usability of applications on mobile devices. His teaching activity has gone through various degrees at the UMH since its inception and he is currently a professor in the Degree in Computer Engineering in Information Technologies at the UMH where he teaches the subject “Usability Engineering”, and also teaches the subject “TICS in Secondary Education” in the Master’s Degree in Teacher Training ESO and Baccalaureate, FP and Language Teaching of the UMH. His research activity is currently focused on the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) area, specifically in the evaluation of usability and user experience (UX) on web and mobile devices, as well as in the design of systems and applications. for eHealth.

He has published numerous research papers in high-impact scientific journals, such as Expert Systems with Applications or the Journal of Medical Internet Research, and in numerous international scientific conferences such as Interaccion, Human Computer Interaction International or ACM MobiHoc Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Healthcare. In addition, he is the author of two invention patents and four intellectual property registrations of various applications and computer systems in use. In terms of university management activities, he has been Coordinator of the Technical Computer Engineering Degree (2001-06), was Deputy Vice-Rector for Research (2007-11), and has been Director of the University Research Institute “Centro de Investigación Operativa” (2011 -2016) and is currently Vice-Rector for Information Technologies since 2016.

In terms of research management, he has been President of the INTERACCION 2012 International Congress, held at the UMH, and has been Vice President of the Human-Computer Interaction Association (AIPO) since 2013, where the IPO is promoted and disseminated among scientists and professionals in Spain. and Latin America. He has been a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and its Special Interest Group on Computer Human Interaction (SIGGCHI) since 2008 and has been a member of the Human Computer Interaction Association since 2003.
