Brief Bio
José María Armingol Moreno is since 2012 Full Professor in the Department of Systems Engineering and Automatics at the Carlos III University of Madrid. His research activity has focused on the development of sensory perception systems based on computer vision and laser technology, with the aim of designing driving assistance systems, automated vehicle guidance and road perception. The research activity has been carried out within the framework of the 30 research projects in which he has participated as a researcher, in 16 of them as principal investigator, all of them with funding from the European Union, National Plan, Autonomous Communities and other public or private bodies subject to external evaluation. He has participated in 41 projects linked to the transfer of knowledge to the productive sector, being the responsible researcher in 22 of them; he is also co-author of four patents and responsible for several training courses for qualified personnel. As a result of this research activity, Prof. Armingol has been awarded four six-year research fellowships corresponding to the periods 1994-1999, 2000-2005, 2006-2011 and 2012-2017 (relative coefficient of 100%), and one six-year fellowship for knowledge transfer and innovation (2011-2016). He has published 75 articles in international journals, 65 of them in JCR indexed journals. He has also co-authored more than 150 papers in international and national conferences. The impact of his research is reflected by the number of citations of his research papers (6773 citations according to Google Scholar – H=42). Prof. Armingol presents about twenty research papers in collaboration with foreign researchers from the University of Parma (Italy), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Germany), University of Coimbra (Portugal), Queen Mary University (UK), University of Buffalo and Carnegie Mellon University (USA), Johannes Kepler University Linz (Austria), Cairo University (Egypt) and Shanghai University (China). In 2005, together with other professors, he formed the “Intelligent Systems Laboratory” Research Group, which he has directed since its foundation and which currently (January 2025) has 20 researchers. He has supervised a total of 20 doctoral theses and is currently editor of several scientific journals. In 2014 he was recognised with the Eduardo Barreiros Foundation Award in the VIII Edition of the Awards for the best scientific research work related to the automotive sector: “Integrated system for automatic collision avoidance” and the enerTIC Award 2019 for the Cities Timanfaya project (Intelligent Concept for an Integrated, Ecological and Safe Transport). His research papers have received a dozen awards at international and national conferences. Prof. Armingol was Deputy Vice-Rector for Students and University Life from 2009 to 2015.
