Juan Manuel Fernández-Luna got his Computer Science degree in 1994 at the University of Granada, Spain. In 2001 he got his PhD at the same institution, working on a thesis in which several retrieval models based on Bayesian networks for Information Retrieval where designed. Currently, his main research area is XML retrieval, although he also is working in collaboration with Juan F. Huete in collaborative IR, recommender systems, learning to rank and heterogeneous data source integration. He has got experience organizing international conferences and workshops, among them the I and II International Workshops on Teaching and Learning of Information Retrieval. He has been co-editor of several journal special issues, highlighting the special Information Retrieval issue on Teaching and Learning of Information Retrieval. He also belongs to the programme committees of the main IR conferences
