Marc Munar Covas

Dr. Marc Munar Covas is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences and Computer Science, University of the Balearic Islands, where he has worked since 2020. He holds a PhD in Information and Communication Technologies (2024), a Master in Intelligent Systems (2020), and a Bachelor in Mathematics (2019) from the same institution.

His research focuses on theoretical and applied aspects of fuzzy logic operators, mathematical morphology, and artificial intelligence. He has contributed to abdominal surgery image processing through the development of the clinically validated mobile application Redscar, which detects infection signs using AI analysis of patient photographs and health questionnaires. Currently undergoing multicenter validation, this tool aims to improve postoperative care in Spanish hospitals. He has also developed MIA4LUNG, a web platform for lung region segmentation and pathology detection (e.g., COVID-19, tuberculosis) using deep learning and information aggregation techniques.

As a member of the Soft Computing, Image Processing and Aggregation (SCOPIA) research group and collaborator of the Graphics and Computer Vision Unit and Artificial Intelligence (UGIVIA), he has participated in national and regional competitive projects. His international research experience includes a three-month stay at LORIA (Nancy, France).

Teaching activities center on mathematical analysis and statistics across multiple degree programs, including dual degrees in Mathematics with Computer Engineering and Telecommunications Engineering. He has taught courses like Integral Calculus in Several Variables, Statistics, and Linear Algebra Methods since 2020.
