Daniel Sanchez Morillo

Daniel Sanchez Morillo serves as Full Professor at the University of Cádiz within the School of Engineering and Department of Automation, Electronics, Architecture and Computer Networks Engineering. He leads the Bioengineering, Automation, and Robotics (TIC212) research group at UCA and co-directs the Biomedical Engineering and Telemedicine (IBT) group at the Institute for Research and Innovation in Biomedical Sciences (INiBICA).

Education

• PhD in Telecommunications Engineering, University of Cádiz (2008). Thesis: "Processing and transmission of biomedical signals for the diagnosis of sleep disorders and diseases" supervised by Dr. Juan Luis Rojas Ojeda

Research Focus

Dr. Morillo's work centers on biomedical engineering and artificial intelligence applications in healthcare, with particular expertise in signal processing for physiological monitoring and image analysis for medical diagnostics. His research spans:

• Development of AI-driven diagnostic tools for respiratory diseases
• Robotics and haptic systems for rehabilitation
• Environmental monitoring solutions for chronic conditions
• Biomedical signal processing for sleep disorder analysis

Publication Trends

Recent work (2024-2025) demonstrates a strategic shift toward deep learning applications in occupational lung disease screening and sensor-integrated rehabilitation devices. Key trends include the fusion of virtual reality with physiological monitoring, AI-enhanced medical imaging for silicosis detection, and innovative approaches to gait analysis using wearable technology.

Research Leadership

As leader of the TIC212 group and co-director of the IBT group, Dr. Morillo oversees interdisciplinary projects bridging engineering and clinical medicine. His teams develop cutting-edge solutions including smart orthoses with haptic feedback, automated cough detection systems, and virtual reality rehabilitation environments, fostering collaboration between engineers, clinicians, and industry partners.
