Milestones

  1. Participation in the European project (HE) TechConnect: Assessing and Strengthening Human-Tech Skill Complementarity in the Digital Landscape (101177251), led by the "Biomedical Data Science and Engineering" group (IRYCIS Area 4).
  2. Defense of Ricardo Martínez's doctoral thesis, entitled "Minimally Invasive Prosthetic Replacement of the Temporomandibular Joint Using Customized Mini-Prostheses," supervised by Prof. Acero. This thesis explores the use of customized mini-prostheses for minimally invasive TMJ reconstruction, integrating biomechanics, biomaterials, and CAD/CAM technology. It concludes that the use of customized mini-prostheses for the TMJ constitutes an effective and more conservative alternative, capable of improving function and reducing surgical morbidity in patients with advanced joint pathology.
  3. Collaboration with primary care professionals in the project "Deep Learning for the Diagnosis of Oral Mucosal Lesions."
  4. Accreditation as a full professor by ANECA of Prof. Julio Acero, principal investigator of the research group.
