David Garcia Rodriguez has a telecommunications engineering (2012) degree in Telecommunication, Sound and Image Systems Engineering (2013), an MSc in Communication Technology, Systems and Networks (2014), and a PhD degree in telecommunications with the maximum "cum laude" mention (2018), all of them received at the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (UPV). Besides, he has a Master in Remote Sensing Degree (2022) and is currently carrying out a second Doctorate Degree in Remote Sensing at the University of Valencia.
Since 2020, David is a member of the LISITT research group belonging to the Institute of Robotics and Information and Communication Technologies (IRTIC) of the University of Valencia. He is the author or co-author of 7 peer-reviewed research publications (Q1 and Q2), and about 13 conferences papers. He has participated in 6 publicly funded research projects (3 international and 5 national) and 5 R&D contracts. His main research interest areas are focused on the fields of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence and Validation of low spectral resolution Earth Observation remote sensing data and products. He collaborates with the Environmental Remote Sensing Group (Climatology from Satellites) from the Department of Earth Physics and Thermodynamics (University of Valencia) as responsible for the management, maintenance, quality control and treatment of primary data and the security and stability of communications of the Valencia Anchor Station (VAS) <https://www.uv.es/gcsuveg/webgcsuveg.wiki>. In addition, he carries out various investigations on that study area using a network of 12 FAPAR (Fraction of Photosynthetically Active Absorbed Radiation) stations, a unique network of stations independently measuring of the four PAR radiative fluxes. Besides, he is also in charge of the Land Surface Temperature (LST), atmospheric temperature and emissivity radiometers as an LST validation resource at the VAS.
David has also been a reviewer of scientific papers for various journals such as the ‘Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics’, ‘European Physical Journal Plus’ and ‘Remote Sensing of Environment’ of recognized international prestige.
