Alberto González is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Computer Science thanks to an FPU grant from the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (FPU17/03832). Previously, he received his master’s Degree in Intelligent Systems in 2018 and a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science in 2017. He joined GEOTEC group via the Study and Research program during his first bachelor’s degree year (2013), a program that allows students to start their research career while they’re studying their bachelor’s degree. He has experience developing web applications, mobile applications and web services, also working with embedded hardware. He aims to expand his developer toolbox adding data scientist skills during his Ph.D. studies, concretely geospatial analysis skills.

Currently, she is doing PhD in Jaume I University. She is interested in analyzing big data using machine learning technologies.
Ponlawat Weerapanpisit graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Engineering from Chiang Mai University in 2017, Thailand, and an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master’s Degree in Geospatial Technologies (2019-2021) from the Universitat Jaume I, Spain, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, Portugal, and the University of Münster, Germany. His master’s thesis dealt with decentralising location-based reputation management systems in IoT using Smart Contracts.
Carlos Granell is associate professor at UJI. He previously held a 5-year Ramón y Cajal post-doctoral fellowship, worked for 3 years as a postdoc in the Digital Earth and Reference Data Unit of the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (Italy), and was a post- and pre-doctoral researcher during the period 2003-2010 at the Universitat Jaume I of Castellón, from which he holds a Ph.D. (2006). His research interests lie in multi-disciplinary GIS, spatial analysis & visualization applied to mental health and mobility, and reproducibility research practice in GIScience.
Pablo Juan graduated in chemistry from the University of Castellón in 1997, and received the M.Sc. degree with the thesis Caracterización de la Agresividad de la Lluvia en la Provincia de Castellón in 2001 and the doctoral degree in statistics with Técnicas geoestadísticas espectrales. Análisis de la estacionariedad e independencia in 2005 from Universitat Jaume I of Castellón, where he is currently Assistant Professor of Statistics, Department of Mathematics. His main areas of methodological and practical
research interest concern spatial statistics, in particular spatial point processes and spatio-temporal geostatistics, motivated by applications in the environmental sciences (forest fires, forest species, wild animals, soil contamination, air pollution, etc.) and in statistical quality control. He has participated in R&D projects at the group of Jorge Mateu, developing selected main problems in stochastic space-time processes. He has published eight books and many articles in different areas (statistics and didactics).
