Erick Cuenca, Ph.D.

Short Bio

Since Dec. 2019, Erick has been an associate professor at Yachay Tech University, Ecuador. Erick is a member of the Computer Science department. Erick focuses his research on data visualization. He is especially interested in getting insight from time-space-oriented data or graph model information. In 2019, Erick was a postdoctoral researcher at UCLouvain University, Belgium. Erick’s research focused on proposing several approaches to understand the temporal and spatial aspects of the data. He was a member of the INGI department at the ICTEAM institute. In 2018, Erick defended his Ph.D. thesis at the University of Montpellier, France, where he was a member of the ADVANSE team at the LIRMM laboratory. His thesis work focuses on dynamic and complex data modeled by time series and graphs, respectively.
