Current doctoral theses

Democratization of data science (definite title pending)
Student:	Rafael Barbudo Lunar
Started on:	Fall 2018
Keywords:	data science; auto machine learning; evolutionary algorithms
Awards and nominations:	October 2018. Best student paper of the Spanish Conference on Artificial Intelligence.
Abstract:	With this PhD thesis, we plan to explore the sinergies between the artificial intelligence and data science as a way to fill the gap between domain experts and data scientists.

Application of scientific workflows on data-intensive domains
Student:	Rubén Salado Cid
Started on:	Fall 2016
Keywords:	scientific workflows; data science; model-driven engineering
Abstract:	This thesis started our research line on democratisation of data science. This is focused on filling the cognitive and operative gap between domain experts and data analysts by providing the proper representation and really interoperable workflow management tools.
