Profile
Alberto Gil de la Fuente was born in Madrid in 1990. He studied Computer Engineering in San Pablo-CEU Universities. He graduated in 2013 obtaining the award to the best academic record. In 2016 he finished his MsC in Computer Engineering in Complutense University, in Madrid. During the MsC he did a period abroad of 6 months in Linköping University, Sweden. I started my PhD in Life and Science Technologies in San Pablo-CEU University in 2015. The project consists in an on-line tool to help with the metabolite identification. I also did a researching stay in the University of Alberta (Wishart Lab) for 6 months during 2018. You can see the results of the PhD development in the web page listed in the header. During his studies, Alberto combined both work and education. He worked as a database administrator in one of the biggest Spanish IT companies (Informatica El Corte Ingles: IECISA). He obtained some of the certifications from Oracle, DB2, MySQL or MongoDB, some of the main database technologies used nowadays. He is currently finishing the project and looking forward to continuing the research in the Metabolomics field, which he believes that it will bring the most significant advances in the systems biology field. At the same time, he recently started to enjoy the synergies of teaching. He thinks that the education is key in the formation of independent and autonomous people.
Particularly, he really enjoys High-Performance Computing. We should help the computers to make their work, and he has developed some projects to apply the High-Performance computing to life sciences.
Personally, he likes to create products that help people. He enjoys his free time doing sports, socializing with the family and friends and learning new technologies for a subsequent application solving real problems. he regularly does sports, he is part of the futsal team of the CEU-San Pablo University, and he actively participates in different event races, both running or biking. During his university studies he was football trainer of U-12 and U-15 teams, leading the players to become adults and having a lot of fun :)
