Biography

I am lecturer in the Department of Geographic Engineering and Graphic Expression Techniques at the University of Cantabria, and researcher at the Geomatics and Ocean Engineering Group (GeoOcean). My experience is focused on the different methodologies for capturing and processing spatial information in Engineering, from the classic methodologies (photogrammetric, laser scanner,...) to the current ones (using drones). I have participated in and/or directed 10 competitive and 67 non-competitive projects. It is worth mentioning that I have been responsible for the active real-time GNSS network of the Autonomous Community of Cantabria for 7 years. I have been director of 4 doctoral theses.
