GUSTAVO CAMPS-VALLS
Gustavo Camps-Valls received a Ph.D. degree in Physics from the Universitat de València, Spain in 2002. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronics Engineering and leading researcher at the Image Processing Laboratory (IPL) in the same university. Recently included in the ISI lists as a highly cited researcher, he co-edited the books “Kernel methods in bioengineering, signal and image processing” (IGI, 2007) and “Kernel methods for remote sensing data analysis” (Wiley & sons, 2009). Dr. Camps-Valls serves on the Program Committees of International Society for Optical Engineers (SPIE) Europe, International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), Machine Learning for Signal Processing (MLSP), and International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP). Since 2007 he is member of the Data Fusion technical committee of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society, and since 2009 he is member of the Machine Learning for Signal Processing Technical Committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He is involved in the EUMETSAT MTG-IRS Science Team. He is Associate Editor of the “ISRN Signal Processing Journal” and “IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters”.

Luis Gómez-Chova received the B.Sc. (with first-class honors), M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in electronics engineering from the University of Valencia, Valencia, Spain, in 2000, 2002 and 2008, respectively. He was awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Education with the National Award for Electronics Engineering. Since 2000, he has been with the Department of Electronics Engineering, University of Valencia, first enjoying a research scholarship from the Spanish Ministry of Education and currently as an Assistant Professor. He is also a researcher at the Image Processing Laboratory (IPL), where his work is mainly related to pattern recognition and machine learning applied to remote sensing multispectral images and cloud screening. He conducts and supervises research on these topics within the frameworks of several national and international projects. He is the author (or coauthor) of 30 international journal papers, more than 90 international conference papers, and several international book chapters.
