Luis Miguel Bergasa At present, I’m
Full Professor at the Department of
Electronics of the University of Alcalá (UAH) and lead the RobeSafe research group. Then, I’m Associate
Service Inspector of the UAH from January of 2012. I received the MS
degree in Electrical Engineering in 1995 from the Technical University of
Madrid and the PhD degree in Electrical Engineering in 1999 from the
University of Alcalá. I was Head of the
Department of Electronics from 2004-2010, coordinator of the Master Advanced Electronic
Systems, Intelligent Systems from 2007-2010 and coordinator of the Doctorate program in
Electronics from 2005-2010.
This course I’m teaching the subjects Computer
Vision Systems and Intelligent
Control Systems included in the Master AES.IS. I'm author of more
than 150 refereed papers in journals and international conferences, and corresponding
author of 6 national patents and 1 PCT patent. Currently I have a
Scholar Google
h-index=15 and an ISI h-index=11. I've been recipient of 9 Spanish prizes
related to Robotics and Automotive fields from 2004-2011. I'm associate
editor of the Physical Agents journal, guest editor of
MDPI Sensors journal, member of the
Editorial Board of
International Journal of Vehicular Technology and habitual reviewer in 12 journals included in
the JCR index. I've served on Program/Organizing Committees in more than 15
conferences. In 1998 I was Research Visitor at the Computer Vision
Research Group of the Trinity College in Dublin (Irland). Since 2009, I'm Research Director of Vision Safety Technologies Ltd, a spin-off company established to commercialize
computer vision systems for road infrastructure inspection. My research
interests include real-time Computer Vision for Assistant Robotics and
Intelligent Vehicles. Specifically, my main research over the
past few years has been on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) (light
beam controller, driver drowsiness and distractions detection, occupants
monitoring and perimetral vision) as well as on
SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) using stereo vision. Currently my main
interests are, in one hand, on monitoring driving behaviors using smartphones
as devices of perception, processing, and communication, and in the other hand, on techniques to build visual maps for
huge environments adding semantic information and to navigate using these
maps in a safe way. Please contact me if you are interested in coming to RobeSafe group for PhD studies or post-doctoral research
as I am always looking for excellent new team members. Researchers with an
interest in my university, please have a look at the Fellowships program
of the University of Alcalá.
