Dr. José Manuel Villadangos Carrizo serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Electronics at the University of Alcalá, Spain, actively contributing to the GEINTRA research group (Electronic Engineering Applied to Intelligent Spaces and Transport). He obtained his PhD from the University of Alcalá in 2013 with a dissertation on wide-coverage ultrasonic local positioning systems using encoding techniques, supervised by Dr. Jesús Ureña Ureña and Dr. Juan Jesús García Domínguez. His research centers on indoor/outdoor positioning technologies utilizing ultrasonic, infrared, and BLE systems, with specialized focus on non-intrusive elderly monitoring, dementia care, and behavioral pattern analysis. He develops sensor fusion algorithms, high-rate acquisition systems, and hardware architectures for real-world applications in smart environments. Analysis of his 2021-2025 publications reveals a strong trajectory toward healthcare-integrated positioning systems, particularly improving data availability through multi-sensor fusion (e.g., infrared-ultrasonic combinations) and extending tracking capabilities from indoor to outdoor environments for vulnerable populations. No scientific awards are documented in the provided materials. While his research output indicates significant project involvement, specific details regarding student advising or research grants remain unavailable in the source information. He maintains active research leadership within GEINTRA, which develops electronic engineering solutions for intelligent transportation and ambient-assisted living systems.
