I am the founder and chair of the CICLing International Conference series. I have been Honorary Chair of ENC-2008, Program co-chair of some recent MICAI, CIC, CORE, and some other conferences. I am founding Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Computational Linguistics and Applications (IJCLA) and Editor-in-Chief of the journal POLIBITS. I am a member of the Board of Ex-Presidents of the Mexican Society of Artificial Intelligence (SMIA), of which I have been the President for the term 2013–2014.
I have been, or currently am, advisor of more than 30 PhD,
more than 30 MSc, and some BSc students, who are citizens of
17 countries:
.
I supervise, or have supervised, theses in
7 countries:
.
My students have received important
awards,
because I taught them my key to success.
All my students (including foreigners) receive very attractive scholarships (see details).
Foreign students can apply for an even higher
scholarship to study with us.
Our
PhD and MSc programs are certified as
international-level
quality programs.
To help students to better choose their research topic, plan their research, present their findings, and write papers, I prepared a presentation on Do-s and Don't-s in your PhD (and not only in PhD). There is a lot more to say about it. You may want to invite me for a talk on this topic. I also maintain a handbook for our Lab's students.
