Francisco Javier Navas Sánchez (Male) is a last-year Ph.D student in the Neuroscience Program from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. He developed their PhD activity in Neuroimaging techniques with a PFIS Grant from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and others. Their expertise lies in the field of advanced techniques in neuroimaging processing (Diffusion Tensor Imaging, functional MRI and structural T1-weighted data), neurobiology, development, etc. 

He has published three articles in first quartile journals in neuroscience. He also has some proceedings of various national and international congress.
