Esperança Amengual Alcover

Dr Esperança Amengual Alcover serves as a Tenured Contract Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), where she has maintained continuous faculty affiliation since 2000. Her institutional presence spans teaching, research, and laboratory leadership across multiple engineering programs.

Her research portfolio centers on six interconnected domains: software process improvement, human computer interaction, facial expression recognition, artificial intelligence, explainable AI, and e-health serious games. This interdisciplinary work converges at the intersection of computer science and healthcare innovation, particularly through her involvement with the Institute for Research in Health Sciences (IUNICS).

Academic contributions are amplified through three research entities: the Computer Graphics and Vision and AI Group (UGiVpOeIA), Multimedia Information Technologies Lab (LTIM), and Behaviour And Technology LABoratory (BATLAB). These platforms facilitate her applied research in medical AI systems and therapeutic gaming environments.

Teaching responsibilities encompass core computer science courses across multiple engineering degrees, with current focus on Databases I and Software Engineering and Databases. Student engagement follows structured appointment protocols through her Anselm Turmeda building office.
