Juan Ignacio García Tejedor

Juan Ignacio García Tejedor is a Professor at the Universidad de Alcalá, affiliated with the Department of Automática. He is a core member of the SRG-UAH Space Research Group, focusing on cosmic ray detection, space instrumentation, and embedded systems. He earned his Ph.D. from Universidad de Alcalá with a thesis on reconfigurable platforms for particle detectors (2021), supervised by Dr. Juan José Blanco Ávalos and Dr. Sebastián Sánchez Prieto.

His research interests span cosmic ray physics, neutron monitoring, hardware virtualization for space systems, and neural networks in particle analysis. Notable projects include the ORCA Antarctic Cosmic Ray Observatory, the MITO muon telescope, and the ICaRO detector. He also contributes to satellite software development, including memory management and real-time systems.

His recent work emphasizes adaptive neural network topologies for improving data analysis in particle detectors and tailored virtualization solutions for LEON processors in space missions. Collaborations include international efforts in Antarctic and high-altitude observatories.

His publications reflect expertise in detector design, cosmic ray dynamics, and embedded space computing. He actively contributes to teaching modules on space data management and interdisciplinary education in physics and instrumentation.
