Doctor en Ingeniería Informática y de Telecomunicación Álvaro García Martín received the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering ("Ingeniero de Telecomunicación" degree) in 2007 (2002-2007) and the MPhil degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (postgraduate Master) in 2009 and PhD in Computer Science in 2013 at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain). From 2006 to 2016, he has been with the Video Processing and Understanding Lab (VPU-Lab) at Universidad Autónoma of Madrid as a researcher and teaching assistant. In 2008 he received a FPI research fellowship from Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. He is currently an Assistant Professor (PhD) at Universidad Autónoma of Madrid. He has participated in several projects dealing with multimedia content transmission (PROMULTIDIS y MESH), video-surveillance (ATI@SHIVA) and activity recognition (SEMANTIC, EVENTVIDEO and HAVideo). He also serves as a reviewer for several international Journals (IEEE TIFS, IEEE CSVT, Springer MTAP,… ) and Conferences (IEEE ICIP, IEEE AVSS,…). He has published more than 15 journal and conference papers. His current research interests are focused in the analysis of video sequences for the video surveillance (moving object extraction, object tracking and recognition, event detection…).
