Biography
José A. Rodríguez Serrano PhD joined Esade in September 2022. With over 16+ years of experience in the field of Artificial Intelligence AI, his past background mixes academic research, industrial work, and management practice. Before joining Esade, he held a Program Manager position at BBVA AI Factory, and prior to that a Machine Learning Manager position at Xerox, where he had developed a career as a corporate researcher in AI. His trajectory includes years of international experience in France and the United Kingdom.   Jose has published papers in top AI conferences and journals such as CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, IEEE PAMI, IJCV, holds over 20 patents and has participated, both as a contributor and as manager, in delivering machine learning functionalities both into functioning prototypes as well as products that are commercially available. Jose is passionate about innovation with machine learning and AI, and over the years has been involved in the different stages of that process, from research to business impact. Moreover, he is also interested in better understanding the challenges, complexities, and best practices of AI innovation cycles. He has participated in managing innovation strategies and likes to contribute to the public debate on innovation with machine learning.
