Juan José Galiana Merino holds a PhD in Applied Computer Science (July 4, 2001) from the University of Alicante and a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence from the International University of Valencia (October 22, 2025). He is an Electronics Engineer (October 25, 1995) and holds a Bachelor's degree in Physics (September 26, 1996) from the University of Valencia, and a Technical Engineer in Telecommunications, specializing in Electronic Systems (October 23, 2009), from the Miguel Hernández University of Elche. Since 2000, he has been a professor in the Signal Theory and Communications area of the Department of Physics, Systems Engineering, and Signal Theory at the University of Alicante.

His lines of research focus on digital processing of seismic signals, design of signal acquisition systems, studies of site effects, and forecasting and early warning of earthquakes. Activity that he develops within the research group of Engineering and Seismic Risk (GIRS) (https://web.ua.es/girs/).

She has participated in more than 13 regional and national projects (leading two of them). She has also participated in the European H2020 project "Towards more Earthquake-resilient Urban Societies through a Multi-sensor-based Information System enabling Earthquake Forecasting, Early Warning and Rapid Response Actions (TURNkey)" led by the NORSAR research center (Norway) (https://earthquake-turnkey.eu/). He has led several cooperation projects with Algeria, and specifically with the Center de Recherche en Astronomie, Astrophysique et Geophysique (CRAAG).

He has also served as a guest editor for the journals Near Surface Geophysics and Sensors (currently overseeing a Special Issue on Acquisition and Processing of Seismic Signals), and as a reviewer for 15 international journals. He is a member of the Reviewer and Topic Board for the journals Sensors and Geosciences.
