Julio Sergio Santana Sepúlveda
I am a civil engineer from the Universidad
Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo. I got my master degree
on computer science at the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios
Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM) Campus Morelos. In 1981 I joined the
Electrical Research Institute of Mexico (Instituto de Investigaciones
Eléctricas -IIE-) as a full-time researcher. In July, 1998 I
joined the Institute for Investigation on Applied Mathematics and Systems
(IIMAS) of the National Autonomous
University of Mexico (UNAM) I was member of the intelligent
multimodal systems group of the Computer Science Departament at
the IIMAS. Currently I am working for the
Mexican Institute for Water Technology (IMTA). In July, 1994 I was
admitted in the informatics module of the PhD Programme between IIE and
the University of Salford (UK).
I have worked in the development of graphic systems, intelligent interfaces,
automation of the engineering design process, and in the generation of
natural language and graphics coordinated explanations. I have lectured
since 1988 in CENIDET (National Centre for the Research and Technological
Development) within its master on computer science programme, and since
1999, in the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) within its
postgraduate programme
on computer science and engineering.
My specialities are: computer systems, intelligent graphical systems,
and natural language and graphics coordination. Due to my current assignments at IMTA, I have also developed experence in Information Systems and Data Bases.
I have received the following awards:
- Diploma as the best civil engineering student from the University of
Michoacan (Universidad Michoacana), February 27, 1979.
- Special Mention (Mencion Honorifica) for my bachelor thesis, from the
University of Michoacan, July 3, 1981.
- First award to master thesis in the First National Contest on Mechanical
Design and Machinery Dynamics, sponsored by the National Council for
Science and Technology (CONACYT), the Federal Bureau of Electricity (CFE),
and the Electrical Research Institute (IIE).
- "Galardón Línea Caliente 2004" in Science and Technology granted by the Morelos State
Radio Station Program "Línea Caliente", December 2004.
I finished my PhD in July, 1999, with a thesis about the generation
of coordinated natural language and graphics explanations in design environments.
