Adrian J. Riquelme Guill, with a Ph.D. from the University of Alicante and training in Civil Engineering, and Geological Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, currently holds the position of Senior Lecturer in the Geotechnical Engineering field at the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Alicante. His research is centered around the Geotechnical Engineering and Structures Research Group (INTERES), and he collaborates with the Geohazards InSAR Laboratory and Modelling Group at IGME.

He is a member of several academic organizations, including the Spanish Society for Rock Mechanics (SEMR), the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM), and the European Geosciences Union (EGU). Actively participating in working groups, he is involved in geomechanical classifications within SEMR and the Suggested Methods working group of the ISRM Upgraded SM for Discontinuity Characterization.

Beyond his academic endeavors, he has served as a visiting lecturer at the University of Vigo, the University of Oviedo, and the CEDEX. Internationally, he has contributed to the academic community at the Polytechnic School of the Litoral in Guayaquil, Ecuador, the University do Minho in Guimaraes, Portugal, Svay Rieng University in Svay Rieng, Cambodia, Universiti Sains Malaysia in Malaysia, and Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan in the Philippines.

Throughout his career, he has undertaken research stays at the University of Florence (UniFi) in Florence, Italy. His primary research interest lies in the application of remotely sensed information for the geomechanical characterization of rock masses. His work encompasses the monitoring of slope movements, land subsidence, and infrastructure using SAR interferometry, as well as the characterization and monitoring of rock masses using 3D point clouds. Additionally, he engages in geomechanical classifications of rock masses and the characterization of the rock matrix. He is the author of the open-source software Discontinuity Set Extractor, utilized by companies for geotechnical calculations and in universities across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
