He has been APPIS 2018, 2019, and2022–2024 general chair; IEEE-IWOBI 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 general chair, ACM-APPIS 2020 general chair, InnoEducaTIC 2014 and 2017 general chair; IEEE-INES 2013 general chair, NoLISP 2011 general chair, JRBP 2012 general chair, and IEEE-ICCST 2005 co-chair. He is an associate editor of the Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience journal (Hindawi—Q2 JCR-ISI) in entropy (MDPI—Q2 JCR-ISI) and sensors (MDPI—Q1 JCR-ISI). He was vice-dean from 2004 to 2010 in the Higher Technical School of Telecommunication Engineers at ULPGC, and vice-dean of Graduate and Postgraduate Studies from March 2013 to November 2017. He won the “Catedra Telefonica” Awards in the modality of Knowledge Transfer in 2017, 2018, and 2019; in 2020, in the modality of COVID Research; and in 2021, 2022, and 2023 in the modality of Research Project. He received the Spanish national award in the second edition of E-nnova Health 2022 of Diario Médico and Correo Farmacéutico in the category of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, for the proposal entitled “Implementation of the digital twin in SARS-COV-2 patient as a prognostic prediction,” in October 2022. He was a finalist in the ABB Award in 2023 with a proposal entitled “Energy Predictor” in the modality of public administration. In 2022, he was one of the researchers included as a member of the 2 percent most influential group in the world, according to the 2022 edition of the Stanford ranking compiled by John P. A. Ioannidis (Stanford University), Kevin W. Boyack (SciTech Strategies), and Jero en Baas (Research Intelligence, Elsevier B.V.), which analyses his scientific output and the citations he has received, among other criteria.
