Prof. Jordi Solé-Casals currently holds a permanent position as a Full Professor of the Department of Engineering of the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia and is the head of the Data and Signal Processing Research Group (DSP, UVic-UCC).  He is also Visiting Scientist (2016 ~) at the Brain Mapping Unit of the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Cambridge (UK) and Visiting Scientist (2020 ~) at the College of Artificial Intelligence, Nankai University (China). He obtained the Ph.D. degree with European label in 2000, and the B.Sc. degree in Telecommunications in 1995, both from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona; and the B.Hum in 2010 from the Open University of Catalonia (UOC), Barcelona. In 1994 he joined the Department of Engineering of the University of Vic – Central University of Catalonia, where he was the Director (2010-2012). He was Visiting Research/Scientist with the GIPSA Lab. in Grenoble (France), the Lab. for Advanced Brain Signal Processing, BSI-RIKEN in Wako (Japan) and the Tensor Learning Team, at the RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP), Tokyo (Japan). Currently he continues the relationships with these laboratories. His research interests include signal processing specially in the biomedical field (EEG, fMRI, speech, handwritten, biometric applications), machine learning/deep learning and statistical modelling for applied sciences.
