Biography

Héctor Menéndez obtained his PhD in Computer Science (under the topic of evolutionary computation applied to machine learning) from the Autonomous University of Madrid in 2014, after graduating with a BSc in Mathematics (2010) and a BSc in Computer Science and the equivalent MSc (2012). Once he moved to London, he spent five years working as a postdoctoral research associate in the SSE group at UCL, working on software testing and cybersecurity.

 

Research interests 

  • Machine Learning (classification and clustering algorithms, deep learning, and testing)
  • Software Testing (automatic test generation and diversity)
  • Cybersecurity (malware analysis and mitigation, and obfuscation)
  • Quantum Programs (design and testing)
