Rosa Rodríguez-Sánchez is an associate professor at the Universidad de Granada. She received her B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the University of Granada, Spain, in 1996 and 1999, respectively. Her research interests are (1) models of image representation; (2) image and video compression; and (3) science metrics and research evaluation. Rosa has obtained results in the following fields: (1) the visual distinction of objects in biomedical applications and military objectives; (2) the explanation of certain illusory forms; and (3) the development of visual attention models. These findings have given rise to different publications in JCR journals of the highest prestige and the publication of academic books. Furthermore, models for the transmission of images were developed in order to first transmit the most visually relevant information compared to the rest.
