I am Full Professor (Catedrático de Universidad) of Medical Imaging and Electronics in the School of Industrial Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de València and member of the Center for Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering and of the Department of Electronic Engineering.


My research interests lie in the area of medical imaging, image processing, image physics and acquisition, and, in particular, the study of new applications and technologies for data acquisition and reconstruction in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).


I am also a faculty of the Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering and of the Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering of the Universitat Politècnica de València teaching medical imaging courses.


I am married to Anna Vallés-Lluch, Full Professor (Catedrática de Universidad) of Thermodynamics and Biomaterials from the Applied Thermodynamics Department of the Universitat Politècnica de València. We have two nice kids, Carles (2004) and Marc (2006).
