Dr. Didier Torres Guzmán | Machine Learning | Best Researcher Award
Professor | National Autonomous University of Mexico | Mexico
Dr. Didier Torres Guzmán is a distinguished researcher whose work focuses on biomedical signal processing, neuroimaging, and the application of machine learning to clinical diagnostics. His research contributions have advanced the understanding and analysis of neurological and physiological conditions, particularly through the development of innovative computational biomarkers and signal processing techniques. Notably, he has explored tortuosity and discrete compactness biomarkers for machine learning-based classification of mild cognitive impairment, providing new tools for early and accurate detection of cognitive decline. In addition, his studies on discrete neuroimaging metrics have enabled the identification of structural brain alterations associated with COVID-19, highlighting the relevance of his work to pressing global health challenges. Dr. Torres Guzmán has also contributed to non-invasive physiological monitoring, including methods for estimating heart and respiratory rates through face video processing and novel approaches for ECG signal morphology analysis using tortuosity estimation. His work consistently demonstrates a combination of methodological rigor, interdisciplinary application, and translational potential, bridging computational techniques with practical healthcare solutions. The originality and impact of his research are reflected in his publications in high-quality peer-reviewed journals and book chapters, where he collaborates with international researchers across biomedical engineering, signal processing, and clinical disciplines. Through these contributions, Dr. Torres Guzmán has established himself as a leading figure in his field, whose work not only advances scientific knowledge but also has tangible implications for improving patient care, diagnostic accuracy, and the integration of artificial intelligence in biomedical research, making him a highly deserving candidate for recognition with the Best Researcher Award.
