Sergio Bernabé was born in Badajoz, Spain, in 1986. He graduated in Technical Engineering in Computer Systems and Computer Engineering from the University of Extremadura in 2009 and 2010, respectively. In the same year, he obtained the M.Sc. degree in Grid Computer Studies and Parallelism, and in 2012 the M.Sc. degree in Engineering and Architecture Research (specialized in Information and Communications Technologies) from the University of Extremadura. Finally, he received his jointly Ph.D. degree in Computer Science with “Ph.D. International Mention” between the University of Iceland and University of Extremadura in 2014. Nowadays, he is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Universidad Complutense, Madrid. He has authored or co-authored more than 40 publications, including 18 Journal Citation Report (JCR) papers.

His main research interests comprise remotely sensed hyper/multi-spectral image analysis, signal processing, and efficient implementations of large-scale scientific problems on high performance computing architectures (low-power multicore processors, graphics processing units (GPUs) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), the Intel Xeon Phi and other custom devices).

Dr. Bernabé has been visiting researchers at several institutions, including the Institute for Applied Microelectronics (IUMA) at the ULPGC (Spain) working under the supervision of Dr. Sebastián López in 2011; the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 101 Reykjavik (Iceland) at the University of Iceland working under the supervision of Prof. Jón Atli Benediktsson (Pro Rector of Academic Affairs, 2011-2012 President, IEEE GRSS, Fellow, IEEE and Fellow, SPIE) in 2012; the Computer Vision Laboratory (LVC) at the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) working under the supervision of Dr. Raul Queiroz Feitosa in 2013.

Dr. Bernabé is a recipient of the GRSS Prize Paper Award ’14 of the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earch Observations and Remote Sensing (JSTARS), for the contribution entitled “A Web-Based System for Classification of Remote Sensing Data” published in JSTARS in August 2013. He is a recipient of the Best Ph.D. Dissertation award at University of Extremadura in 2015.

Dr. Bernabé was IEEE GRSS student member (2012-2013). He currently serves as an active Reviewer of international conferences (IEEE Whispers ’12, ’14, CIARP ’14, EUROCON ’15) and international journals.
