The modeling processes of natural phenomena and the aspects derived from them, such as the operational proposal, are topics dominated by Dr. Signes-Pont as a result of her research career, which began with her PhD in 2005 within the research group Industrial Informatics and Computer Networks (I2RC) of the University of Alicante (parametric model of architectures for the generation of computational primitives (available at https://rua.ua.es/dspace/bitstream/10045/13264/1/Signes-Pont-Maria-Teresa.pdf). These concepts have been widely worked, giving rise to numerous publications and communications to congresses. Dr. Signes-Pont is currently working on modeling the propagation/expansion processes in a discrete space-time frame (grid), with binary update rules following certain neighborhood patterns. It has tackled the spread of malware on mobile devices of information on social networks and has currently expanded the field of application to the spread of plant pests, specifically X. fastidiosa in almond trees. She has collaborated on numerous national and regional research projects and is co-author of an invention patent and an innovative software component. He has more than 60 publications in high-impact journals and has presented numerous communications at international conferences. Currently, she is the director of two doctoral theses and a TFM related to expansion models, of which two are related to X. fastidiosa.
