Dr. Gonzalez-Aguilera received a B.Sc. degree in Surveying Engineering and a M.Sc. degree in Geodesy and Cartography Engineering from Salamanca University, Spain, in 1999 and 2001, respectively. He was a Research Assistant at INRIA, Grenoble, France, in the Institute of Computer Vision and Robotics, where he also performed his PhD research on 3D reconstruction from a single view, graduating in 2005. He has authored more than 400 research articles in international journals and conference proceedings. He is also the co-inventor of 12 patents and 35 intellectual properties (software). Based on his PhD results, he has received nine international awards from the International Societies of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS/ASPRS). In 2005, he founded the research group TIDOP (https://tidop.usal.es) (geotechnologies for the 3D digitization and modeling of complex objects) at the University of Salamanca. He is a Full Professor and Head of the Cartographic and Land Engineering Department and PhD Program at the University of Salamanca, as well as co-founder and CTO of the start-up ITOS3D (Image TO Smart 3D). In 2015, the Royal Academy of Engineering recognized his efforts and work in the field of engineering and in the democratization of photogrammetry. In 2020, the ISPRS recognized his special, personal, and meritorious contributions in the field of photogrammetry, with him being the second Spanish citizen ever to receive this award since its inception in 1996.
