About the Authors
as a tool to understand biological systems. In particular, Luis analyzes DNA
from microbial communities to characterize their behavior. Luis has also worked
extensively in bioimage informatics—the application of machine learning techniques
for the analysis of images of biological specimens. His main focus is on the processing
and integration of large-scale datasets.
Luis has a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University, one of the leading universities
in the world in the area of machine learning. He is the author of several scientific
publications.
Luis started developing open source software in 1998 as a way to apply real code to
what he was learning in his computer science courses at the Technical University of
Lisbon. In 2004, he started developing in Python and has contributed to several open
source libraries in this language. He is the lead developer on the popular computer
vision package for Python and mahotas, as well as the contributor of several machine
learning codes.
Luis currently divides his time between Luxembourg and Heidelberg.
I thank my wife, Rita, for all her love and support and my daughter,
Anna, for being the best thing ever.
