Jorge Fernández-Berni is an Associate Professor at the University of Seville, affiliated with the Institute of Microelectronics of Seville (IMSE-CNM), a joint research center of CSIC and the university. He holds a PhD in Microelectronics (2011, with honors) and has been a faculty member since 2018, following a Juan de la Cierva Research Fellowship (2016–2017). Research Interests: Smart CMOS image sensors Vision chips Embedded systems and hardware-software co-design Distributed smart sensors Deep learning and edge AI Nature and biodiversity monitoring His recent publications reflect a strong trend toward integrating AI with low-power embedded vision systems for ecological applications, particularly in wildlife and environmental monitoring. The work emphasizes efficient, real-time processing on edge devices, focal-plane computation, and system-level optimization for IoT deployment. Topics include high dynamic range imaging, Gaussian pyramid extraction, thermal throttling impact, and performance prediction for deep learning models on embedded platforms. Scientific Awards: Best Paper Award, SPIE Electronic Imaging 2014 Third Prize, Student Paper Award, IEEE CNNA 2010 Winner, 'De Idea a Producto' contest 2022 HiPEAC 2023 Technology Transfer Award Winner, Startup Olé Marbella 2024 Student Pitch Competition Advising and Grants: Dr. Fernández-Berni has served as Principal Investigator (PI) in numerous research and tech transfer projects, including ULTIMATE (smart embedded platform for nature monitoring), SEMIoTICS (intelligent IoT components), and collaborations with SEO/BirdLife on automated bird identification. He has participated in approximately 25 research projects, with funding from national agencies (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, Junta de Andalucía), the European Union (H2020), and the U.S. Office of Naval Research. He has also led the spin-off BiodAIverse (now biotfy), which has received recognition and acceleration support. Labs and Teams: He is a core researcher at the Institute of Microelectronics of Seville (IMSE-CNM), where he contributes to advanced sensor development and participates in the Doctoral Program on Physical Sciences and Technologies. He has collaborated extensively with the research group led by Á. Rodríguez-Vázquez and R. Carmona-Galán, focusing on smart vision systems and embedded processing.
