Miguel-Ángel Fernández-Torres is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Signal Theory and Communications at the Polytechnic School of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). He is also affiliated with the Image and Signal Processing Group at the University of Valencia, where he serves as a Senior Researcher. His academic journey began and concluded at UC3M, where he earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Multimedia and Communications. Ph.D. in Multimedia and Communications, UC3M (2019) M.S. in Multimedia and Communications, UC3M (2014) B.S. in Audiovisual System Engineering, UC3M (2013) His research lies at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and Earth system sciences. He specializes in explainable deep learning, focusing on anomaly detection, extreme event forecasting, and visual attention modeling. His work applies to domains such as climate science, remote sensing, and biomedical imaging. He has conducted research stays at Purdue University and Technische Universität München, and studied at TU Wien during his bachelor's. The most recent publications reflect a strong trend toward applying deep learning and causal modeling to climate extremes, drought, and wildfire prediction. Themes include explainability, spatio-temporal modeling, and unsupervised learning for Earth observation data. His work increasingly integrates physics-aware models and aims to interpret deep learning outputs in environmental contexts. European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) Member Teaching Associate Professor Certification (AVAP, 2023) Teaching Assistant Professor Certification (ANECA, 2019) Spanish Ministry FPU Grant (2013) Excellence Awards from UC3M and Social Council He has supervised numerous B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. students and has served as a reviewer for top journals including IEEE TGRS, Nature npj Climate, and CVPR workshops. He leads and contributes to major projects such as DeepExtremes (ESA), XAIDA (H2020), and USMILE (ERC Synergy). He has taught courses in digital signal processing, machine learning, and multimedia at both UC3M and the University of Valencia. He is actively involved in the research community, having served on the organizing committee for AISTATS 2022 and 2023, and contributed to open-source tools and datasets for climate AI.
