Speaker: Juan A. García-Pardo

Juan was born in Valencia, Spain many years ago. He studied at the Universitat Politècnica de València and obtained his MSc in computer science, starting his PhD. in machine learning right after. During his studies he managed to teach at two (other) universities also in the same city, and worked to help in a variety of projects for different swiss companies, such as Swisscom or Lindt. That is when he discovered a bit of Switzerland, and decided he would not finish his PhD. studies but move to work in R&D for Leica Geosystems in Sankt Gallen.

He discovered and read about SCION in 2017 and joined the group in 2018, to help with this fascinating project. He co-operates SCIONLab.
