Enrique A. Navarro-Camba has a degree in Physics (1988) and a PhD in Physics from the Universitat de València (1992), his Thesis supervisor was Vicente Such Belenguer, Professor of Applied Physics. 

From August 1988 to January 1989 he worked at Grupo de Mecánica del Vuelo S.A. (GMV S.A., Madrid).  He joined the University of Valencia in 1989, where he worked in R&D projects of the University in cooperation with Radiación & Microondas S.A. (RYMSA). He received scholarships from the Valencian Government and the Ministry of Education and Science of Spain. He was assistant professor in 1991, contracted professor in 1994, associated professor in 1997, and full professor in 2010.

He worked at the Communications Research Laboratory of McMaster University (ON, Canada) in 1994 and 1995, where he improved the non-orthogonal-FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) technique. He worked on the analysis of passive devices for beamforming networks (Spar-Aerospace, Quebec) and planar antennas (RIM-Blackberry, Waterloo).

At the University of Valencia he has been teaching subjects related to electromagnetism, electromagnetic waves, microwaves, antennas and advanced communications. He has taught in undergraduate, doctoral, graduate and master courses of Physics, Chemistry and School of Engineering (ETSE). He has served on several committees at the University of Valencia, and his teaching has contributed mainly to the Telecommunications degrees of the University of Valencia, the Master of Telecommunications Engineering, and the Master of Advanced Sciences of Modern Telecommunications, University of Valencia- University Pompeu Fabra,

In 1993 he joined the Editorial Board of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory & Techniques, and later on all the IEEE and IEE (now IET) journals on antennas, microwaves and propagation. Over the years he served on the Editorial Board of the world's most prestigious journals in Electromagnetism, Microwaves, Antennas, Communications and Geoelectromagnetism: IEEE Microwave and Guided Wave Letters, IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, IGARS, PIERS, Electronics Letters, IEE Proceedings on Microwave Antennas and Propagation (IET-MAP), Optics Express, ETRI Journal, International Journal of Electronics, Bioelectromagnetics, Scientific Reports... Reviews projects from NASA and the United States Department of Energy (DOE).

He worked in more than 30 competitive research projects of Spanish Government, Andalucia Government, and Valencian Goverment, in cooperation with the research team of Professor Juan A. Morente of the University of Granada and the Austrian Space Agency.

At the University of Valencia, he is in charge of the antenna measurement system, Anechoic Chamber, a large installation covering 5m x 5m x 8m, with near-field measurement and near-to-far-field transformation. He also maintains the WWLLN-Valencia (World Wide Lightning Location Network) measurement station that records electrical activity of atmospheric origin at a planetary level, covering the western Mediterranean, in collaboration with Prof. Robert Holzworth of the University of Washington.

Dr. Navarro's research interests focus on all aspects of electromagnetism, computational electromagnetism, electromagnetic waves, antennas, wave propagation and their measurements.

Juan M. Orduña received the MS in computer engineering from the Technical University of Valencia, Spain, in 1990. He worked at Telefónica de España, Manpel Electrónica, S.A. and at the Technical University of Valencia as a computer engineeer. He received the PhD. in computer engineering from the University of Valencia in 1998. His research has been developed inside the ACCA team (http://www.acca-group.info). Currently, he is a lecturer profesor in the Department of Informatics, at the University of Valencia, SPAIN, where he leads the GREV research group (http://grev.uv.es). He is member of the HiPEAC network of excellence (http://www.hipeac.net/), and his research is currently supported by the Spanish MEC and the European Commission through several projects. Dr. Orduna served as a member of the Program Committee in different conferences and workshops (ICPP, Europar, VR, ICPADS, etc.) as well as a reviewer for scholarly journals like Parallel Computing, IEEE TPDS, JNCA, or FGCS. He has published papers about his research in a number of high impact international journals and conferences.

Manuel Pérez Aixendri holds a PhD in Computer Science and is an Assistant Lecturer (Ayudante Doctor) in the Department of Computer Science at the Universitat de València, within the area of Computer Architecture and Technology. He is also a Computer Engineer and a Technical Telecommunications Engineer, both from the same university, where he has been teaching since 2001.

Throughout his career, he has taught in the degrees of Computer Engineering, Multimedia Engineering, and several Master’s programs, primarily in subjects related to computer graphics, virtual and augmented reality, interactive simulation, video game development, multimodal interaction, and multimedia systems. He has supervised numerous Bachelor’s and Master’s theses and has also taken part in specialised training programs and university extension courses focused on interactive and multimedia technologies.

His research activity is carried out at the Institute of Robotics and Information and Communication Technologies (IRTIC), where he has collaborated on projects in the fields of immersive systems, simulation, human–computer interaction, computer graphics, and digital heritage. As part of his doctoral thesis, he explored advanced 3D visualization techniques and the development of interactive tools applied to immersive environments and the digital representation of historical fabrics—a research line he later consolidated through various scientific publications in indexed journals and international conferences such as Computers & Graphics, Multimedia Tools and Applications, Heritage, IEEE ISMAR, and HCII.

In addition, he has actively participated in competitive R&D projects, technology transfer contracts, and technological licenses, contributing to areas ranging from augmented reality in museums and industrial or medical simulation to XR systems applied to training and accessibility. He has also been involved in teaching innovation initiatives aimed at improving practical methodologies and integrating digital technologies into engineering education, serving as coordinator in several editions.

His work combines applied research, teaching, and technological transfer in the fields of computer graphics, virtual and augmented reality, and immersive technologies with educational, cultural, and social impact.

I graduated with a degree in Physics from the University of Valencia in 1992 and earned my PhD in Computer Engineering from the same university in 2002.

Currently, I am a tenured professor at the University of Valencia. I teach courses in the Multimedia Engineering degree program (notably the course 'Graphics Card Programming') and the Telematics Engineering degree program (notably the course 'Advanced Computer Science').

I was a member of the Robotics Institute (now IRTIC) at the University of Valencia from 1994 to 2008, under the direction of Dr. Gregorio Martín and Dr. Marcos Fernández. During this period, I participated as a researcher in three EU-funded projects, two projects under the national plan of the Ministry of Education and Science, five projects funded by the Valencian Regional Government, and six contracts with companies and public organizations.

Since 2009, I have collaborated with the Networks and Virtual Environments Group (GREV, http://grev.uv.es) at the University of Valencia, led by Professor Juan Manuel Orduña, and with the Technology and Architectures of Computer Perception Group (TAPEC, http://tapec.uv.es/), led by Professor Fernando Pardo Carpio. During this latter period, I have participated in five projects funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (MICINN), and in the last two, I am a co-principal investigator.

During these years, my research has focused primarily on computer graphics, virtual reality, real-time graphics, and, more recently, on bioinformatics and artificial intelligence.
