About Me

Joaquín has been managing a small group around 1-2 undergrad, 2 master and 2 PhD students not only in research tasks related to indoor positioning, but also in ways to transfer the technology and create novel applications. He has published 1 book, 3 book chapters and 180+ articles in journals and conferences including top venues (32 Q1 and 18 CORE A). His publication records report 4600 citations (h-index:34 I10:78). According to Scopus, he is in the top-5 authors for “Indoor Positioning Systems; Received Signal Strength; Wi-Fi; (T.437)” and he has been listed within the Stanford's list of 2% most cited researchers in 2022 and 2023. Joaquín not only has contributed with results dissemination in conference papers and journal articles, but he also has collected and provided 12 datasets and supporting Software (UJIIndoorLoc Platform and GetSensorsData Suite) to the Indoor Positioning community. In addition of participating in 9 regional, 9 national and 6 European projects, being the PI in 1 Regional, 1 National and 2 EU projects, Joaquín cooperated in successful scientific fund-raising for 4 regional, 4 national and 4 EU research projects (total funds raised ~4 Million €). **Internationalisation** Joaquín has established several long-term collaborations at national level with Fernando Alvarez (Univ. Extremadura), Juan Jesús Garcia & Ana Jiménez (Univ. de Alcalá), Antoni Pérez-Navarro (Univ. Oberta de Catalunya) and Antonio R. Jiménez (CSIC – Arganda) and at international level with Simona Lohan (Tampere; FI), Adriano Moreira (Guimarães, PT), Mikko Valkama (Tampere, FI), Tapami Ristaniemi (Jyväskylä, FI), Paolo Barsocchi (CNR Pisa, IT), Rafael Berkvens (Antwerp, BE) and Jiri Hosek (Brno, Rep. Checa), which have brought journal articles, project proposals, two-way mobility and students co-supervision Joaquín is now considered a key player in the research area, both national & international research teams invited him for giving lectures, teaching seminars, participating in project proposals, organizing conferences and being a jury member in MSc and PhD defenses. Besides he is collaborator at the Algoritmi Research Centre of Universidade do Minho, where he worked for 2 years with a MSCA Individual Fellowship and continues collaborating in research tasks. **Contributions to Society** Joaquín has participated in 3 transfer actions devoted to enhance the collaboration between the academic and industry worlds (Projects Percepción and eStic and a Contract -Art.83- with Eurecat). In 2020-2021, he was the Scientific Chair Officer and administrator at UBIK Geospatial Solutions, acting as principal investigator of 2 projects and valorising the research outputs on Indoor Positioning developed in the academia. He has cooperated with the Centro de Computação Gráfica for deploying and commercialising the outputs of the ORIENTATE project in the Portuguese industry. He participated in communications actions to the general audience/society, in particular he usually participated in the GIS Day and the European Night of Researchers. In addition, he presented the A-WEAR project and main contribution in a booth at the European Conference on Networks and Communications (2019). **Young researchers training** Joaquín has taught 5 invited seminars to PhD students in the A-WEAR workshops. He has supervised 26 Master and 7 PhD Students. He is currently supervising 2 Master Students and 3 PhD students. In addition, he hosted 6 external PhD students. He has also established Erasmus+ agreements with the University of Antwerp (BE) and University of Udine (IT) **Others** Joaquín participates in the organization of several conferences every year, acting as Reviewer and/or Program Committee at IPIN, ICL-GNSS, ICIC, IJCNN and serves as Senior Editor in IEEE Journal on Indoor and Seamless Positioning and Navigation and Expert Systems with Application. He has reviewed over 500 scientific works.
