Gustau Camps-Valls (born in 1972 in València) is a Physicist and Full Professor in Electrical Engineering at the Universitat de València, Spain, where lectures on machine learning, remote sensing, and signal processing. He is the Head of the Image and Signal Processing (ISP) group, an interdisciplinary group of 50 researchers working at the intersection of AI for Earth and Climate sciences.

Prof. Camps-Valls published over 200+ peer-reviewed international journal papers, 300+ international conference papers, 25 book chapters, and 6 international books on remote sensing, image processing, and machine learning. He has an h-index of 95 with 43000+ citations in Google Scholar. He was listed as a Highly Cited Researcher in 2011, 2019-2023 (1% top-cited researcher in the area of Geosciences), and currently has 13 «Highly Cited Papers» and 1 «Hot Paper» Thomson Reuters ScienceWatch identified his activities as a Fast Moving Front research (2011) and the most-cited paper in the area of Engineering in 2011, received the Google Classic paper award (2019), and Stanford Metrics includes him in the top 2% most cited researchers of 2017-2020. He publishes in both technical and scientific journals, from IEEE and PLOS One to Nature, Nature Communications, Science Advances, and PNAS.

He has been Program Committee member of international conferences (IEEE, SPIE, EGU, AGU), and Technical Program Chair at IEEE IGARSS 2018 (2400+ attendees). He served in technical committees of the IEEE GRSS & IEEE SPS, as Associate Editor of 5 top IEEE journals, and in the prestigious IEEE Distinguished Lecturer program of the GRSS (2017-2019) to promote «AI in Earth sciences» globally. He has given 100+ talks, was a keynote speaker at 20+ conferences, and (co)advised 20+ PhD theses.

He coordinated/participated in 60+ research projects involving industry and academia at national and European levels. He assisted the aerospace industry in Advisory Boards; he is a Fellow Consultant of the ESA PhiLab (2019) and a member of the EUMETSAT MTG-IRS Science Team. He is committed to open source/access in Science and is a habitual panel evaluator for H2020 (ERC, FET), NSF, China, and Swiss Science Foundations.

He coordinates the ‘Machine Learning for Earth and Climate Sciences' research program of ELLIS, the top network of excellence on AI in Europe. He was elevated to IEEE Fellow member (2018) in two Societies (Geosciences and Signal Processing) and to ELLIS Fellow (2019). Prof. Camps-Valls is the only researcher receiving two European Research Council (ERC) grants in two different areas: an ERC Consolidator (2015, Computer Science) and ERC Synergy (2019, Physical Sciences) grants to advance AI for Earth and Climate Sciences.
