Esther Pueyo received the M.S. degree in Mathematics from the University of Zaragoza, Spain, in 1999. During 2000, she was a research student at the Department of Mathematics, University of Zaragoza, where she developed a minor thesis in the field of Calculus. In 2001 she started her Ph.D. studies in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Zaragoza, with a grant supported by the Spanish government. Also, she worked as an assistant professor in the field of Signal Processing. Her Ph.D. studies aimed at developing signal processing techniques applied to the electrocardiogram with the purpose of investigating abnormal conditions that lead to the genesis of malignant cardiac arrhythmias. Currently, Esther Pueyo holds an Associate Professor position at the Department of Electronic Engineering and Communications, University of Zaragoza, and she is also a postdoctoral researcher at the Computing Laboratory, University of Oxford, UK. Her research activity focuses on investigating the mechanisms of arrhythmic risk, either drug-induced or due to pathological effects, with the aim of providing new selective biomarkers that can help to improve diagnosis of cardiac diseases.
