Biography
Prof. Lamata has developed his academic career at King’s, Oxford, Madrid and Zaragoza, supported most of the time with personal awards and fellowships. He has worked at Siemens, been an advisor for successful spin-outs such as Ultromics, and lived an entrepreneurial adventure called Congenita.
He is the Director of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Digital Twins for Healthcare (DT4Health CDT).
He is group leader of the Cardiac Modelling and Imaging Biomarkers (CMIB) group. The group develops technologies to build the vision of the digital twin in cardiovascular medicine, where cardiologists will use their computer-enhanced ability to reason with clinical data and provide a preventive and personalised healthcare.
