Joaquín J. Torres graduated in theoretical physics in 1992 and received his Ph.D. in Theoretical and Computational Physics in 1997, both at Univ. of Granada. He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Inst. Nonlinear Sci. (U. California San Diego) (now within the Biocircuits Inst.) during the period 1997-1999. In 1999, he earned a research position in the department of Medical Physics and Biophysics at the Univ. of Nijmegen (The Netherlands). In 2000 he moved to the Univ. of Granada where he earned a research scientist position at the department of Electromagnetism and Physics of the Matter and in 2001 he was awared a "Ramón y Cajal" Grant from the Spanish Ministry of Research. In 2005, he became associate professor (tenured) at the same department after receiving from the Spanish Ministry of Research the I3 certification of an outstanding research career. Since 2017, he is Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at the Department of Electromagnetism and Physics of the Matter of the University of Granada. Dr. Torres has more than 100 publications in international pair-reviewed journals and books. He is coeditor of two AIP Conf. Proceedings books (Vols. 887 and 1510), and author with Dr. Joaquin Marro of the AIP Book "Phase Transitions in Grey Matter: Brain Architecture and Mind Dynamics". Dr. Torres is also Associate Editor of the Neurocomputing, Associate Editor of Front. Comp. Neurosci. and Associate editor of Nature's Scientific Reports research journals, and Section Editor of the Springer Encyclopedia of Computational Neuroscience. He has also supervised more than 12 M.S. Thesis and 5 Ph.D. Thesis.
