Miguel Matey Sanz

I completed my bachelor's degree in Computer Science specialized in software engineering at Universitat Jaume I in 2019. In the meantime, I was also participating in the "Estudia i Investiga" program, which allowed me to join the GEOTEC research group and get started with the research world. I completed my training studying a master in Intelligent Systems in the same university.

From 2020 to 2024, I did a PhD in Computer Science focused in human activity recognition using smart devices and its applications to the health domain. My other research interests are the machine learning and the indoor positioning.

Currently, I work as a researcher in the GEOTEC research group and as Invited Professor at Universitat Jaume I.
