Biography
 

Hi! my name is Santiago Felici-Castell, I was born in Algemesí (Valencia). I completed my Telecommunication Engineer degree and my PhD in Telecommunication Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de València in 1993 and 1998 respectively. I am currently a tenured assistance professor at the Universitat de València in the ETSE in the area of telematic engineering. My work focuses on computer networks, especially wireless sensor networks (Internet of Things), fog and edge computing on 5G infraestructures and software-defined networks on synchronisation and quality of service aspects, where I have published more than 50 papers in international conferences (two of them as best paper award) and more than 40 papers in international journals (in Journal Citation Report (JCR), Q1, Q2 with more than 1000 cites). I am reviewer of several high impact journals and member of serveral internacional conferences. I have participated in 15 national, 3 European, 1 European Network of Excellence and 1 national competitive projects. I have been principal investigator (PI) in 6 research projects (ELAS, Varimos I and II, Urbauramon, Eco4Ruppa and Greenish). I collaborate with different international centres: from the pre-doctoral stage Cern (CH), USC (USA) and from the post-doctoral stage in UA (IT, DETI, Aveiro City Lab), UWS (Beyond 5G Hub, UK), UCE (Millenium P., UK), UCY(DECS, CY), UNAB (CO), UFS (BR) and UCA (DEI-LED, PY) and national centres UPCatalonia (SP), UPV, UMurcia (SP).
I have supervised 3 doctoral theses and waiting for the next one. I have also supervised more than 20 master's theses and 37 final projects and/or final degree projects. I have collaborated with private companies through  research and development contracts. I am a certified Cisco Systems instructor and coordinator of the Networking Academy of the University of Valencia. I have participated in several Teaching Innovation Projects and I have been director of the masters 'Advanced Sciences of Modern Telecommunications', ‘Telecommunication Enginyer’ and 'Routing, switching, troubleshooting and data optimisation', as well as course coordinator for the degree and course in Telematics Engineering, Erasmus, Final Degree Projects and Practicum coordinator. I have been part of the PhD commission of the Information, Communication and Computing Technologies Programme until December 2020, I am an evaluator of the AQU Catalan Quality Agency, the Andalusian Agency and MINECO.

Biography
 

Dr. Jesús Gimeno Sancho is a lecturer of Computer Graphics in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Valencia (Spain) and a senior researcher of the Institute of Robotics and Information and Communication Technology (IRTIC). He received his master degree in Computer Science (2008) and a diploma degree in Telecommunications (2009) from the University of Valencia. His final thesis work was awarded with the “Best thesis of the year award” by the Rotary Club, for the development of a whole body motion capture system inside the CAVE virtual reality system, so a user would be able to see his virtual reflection in a virtual mirror. During his pre-doctoral stage, he was granted with a 4-years research grant by the spanish government, to research the application of augmented reality as a testing tool for exoskeletons prototypes. He obtained his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Valencia (2016), with a dissertation entitled “Contributions to the Authoring of Augmented Reality Contents for Education, Industry and Construction Sectors”. Dr. Gimeno was a research fellow at two remarkable research centres in AR-VR fields, the Augmented Reality Group at Bauhaus Universitat (Weimar, Germany, 2008) and at VRAC Center at Iowa State University (Ames IO, USA, 2010).

His research interests include primarily augmented reality and virtual reality, but also motion capture, real time simulation, advanced user interfaces and mobile computing. He has developed his career as academical researcher and professor, but also as a researcher in a great number of projects related to his area of expertise. He is author of 40+ scientific publications including international conferences, high impact journals and chapters within books. Important topics related to virtual and augmented reality are covered in these publications, for example: authoring, collaborative systems, development of new tracking systems and user interfaces, etc. His article “An occlusion-aware AR authoring tool for assembly and repair tasks”, was awarded with the best paper prize at the International Conference on Computer Graphics Theory and Applications (GRAPP / VISIGRAPP, 2012). In this paper is proved how to improve the authoring process of augmented reality contents using a depth sensor, as a result the number of errors decrease while increase the precision of the virtual information position. Dr. Gimeno has also collaborated in more than 60 projects since 2006, with funding both from Spanish or European government an also from private companies. During the development of these projects, primarily related to VR and AR, he has collaborated with many different Research Centres from Europe and US, but also with important international companies. Among other projects, in the early stages of augmented reality, 2007-2010, he designed augmented reality prototypes for the Orange company. He collaborated with Dragados (ACS Group) and Leica Geosystems (Hexagon Group), developing new tools involving augmented and virtual reality to improve the construction management process (2010-2016). From 2014 to 2017 he collaborated with FORD company to improve the industrial processes by the application of augmented reality. In the last years, several collaborations have been performed with hospitals, related to the robotic surgery topic and the application of virtual and augmented reality in the pre-operative phase.
