Prof. Federico Thomas received the telecommunications engineering degree in 1984 and the Ph.D. degree in computer science in 1988, both from the Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain. He was visiting professor at the university of Massachusetts, USA, and at Oxford University, UK. He was also invited professor at the École Centrale de Nantes, France. His current research interests include Distance Geometry and Clifford Algebras, and their application to Kinematics.
