Fernando Jaureguizar obtained the Telecommunication Engineering degree (six-years engineering program) in 1987 and the Ph.D. in Telecommunication Engineering in 1994 ("Cum laude" and Extraordinary Doctorate Award), both from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM).

Since 1987, he is a member of the Image Processing Group (GTI). He was a Ph.D. scholar of the Spanish Scientific and Technical Research Advisory Commission (CAICYT) from 1987 to 1988 and a Ph.D. scholar (Formación de Personal Investigador -FPI) of the Information and Communications Technologies Program of the Spanish National R&D Plan from 1988 until 1991. In addition, since 1991, he is a member of the faculty of the E.T.S. Ingenieros de Telecomunicación at UPM, and since 1995, he is a tenured Associate Professor of Signal Theory and Communications at the Department of Signals, Systems, and Radiocommunications (SSR).

He has been, from 2014 until 2018, the Head of the Department of Signals, Systems, and Radiocommunications, and currently, from 2011, is the Head of the Dem-3DTV Experience-Lab Demonstrator of the UPM.

His current research interests include digital image processing, video coding, computer vision, matching learning and visual communications. He has participated actively in the elaboration of the proposal of commitment of the EBU, base of the worldwide standard of digital transmission of TV at 34-45 Mb/s (ITU-T J.81). He is co-author of the MPEG-4 reference software.

He has been actively involved in European projects (Eureka, ACTS, Cost, IST, ITEA2, EIT-RawMaterials) and national projects in Spain. He has been the principal investigator in four national competitive projects financed with public funds, and four with private funds; and has been researcher in other public and private projects, both national and European.

His activities for the knowledge transfer include one Spanish patent granted and another Spanish patent application in progress, and consultant activities for companies (Airbus, Nokia, SGO, etc.).

He has supervised four theses qualified with outstanding “cum laude” in: visual tracking of objects; distribution on demand of video content in managed networks; advanced recognition of gestures for immersive human-machine interfaces; and video and depth maps coding optimization for free viewpoint video, and is supervising another on generation of synthetic views for free viewpoint view video. He is the author and co-author of 32 articles in indexed journals (11 in Q1 and 16 in Q2), two chapters of international books and 99 works in relevant international conferences (with peer review).

The Spanish ANECA has awarded him 4 research tracks (research sexennia), last in 2017, and 1 technology transfer track (tech. transfer sexenium), last in 2018.

His teaching activities expand over 30 years, including undergraduate and postgraduate courses in the subjects: Telecommunication Systems, Transmission Systems, Digital Image and Video Processing, Computer Vision, Digital Television, 3DTV, Video Coding, Audiovisual Systems Technologies, Coding and Description of Audiovisual Contents. The University has awarded him 5 teaching tracks (teaching quinquennia), last in 2016.
