For eminent impact to the field of laser based enhanced remote bio-sensing and its usage for photonic medical diagnosis.
Javier Garcia received his Ph.D. in Physics by the Universitat de Valencia in 1994. Nowadays, he is full Professor in Optics at the Universitat de Valencia, Spain. He has published over 200 papers on peer reviewed journals and he is the inventor of several commercialized patents. His background is in optical image processing, microscopy, interferometry, holography and Fourier optics. Aside from academy work he participates or has participated as founding partner in several startup companies (such as Cytolovue, Continuse Biometrics, Donisi) or key advisor in projects with private companies (such as EADS or PrimeSense) and he is currently engaged as scientific researcher at Donisi Health.
Aside of contributions in super resolved imaging and non linear optical systems, the main activity along the last years is centered in recording and analysis of biological parameters by optical methods, specially dynamic speckle photography. The activity comprehends optical system design and prototyping, as well as the development of algorithms for signal retrieval and clasificación.
