Enrique Nava Baro finished his PhD thesis under supervision of Prof. J.M. Rebollar at Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain, on the design of circular waveguide polarizer devices on microwaves/millimeter waves to be used on communication satellite antennas. As a result, a new developed computer software, based on a full solution of electromagnetic equations, was able to predict polarizer behaviour with enough accuracy to be used for industrial optimization and design purposes. This software was the only one available at that time and was transferred to relevant research institutions and companies on that field for industrial use. He serves as Associate Professor (Profesor Titular de Universidad) at University of Málaga in 1994, focusing his research work on interdisciplinary applications of digital signal and image processing, with many collaborations on medical, chemical, biological, underwater and industrial fields. Since 1995, Dr Nava is head of the Andalusian research group ‘Radiological Image Digital Processing’ (TIC128), with eight post-doctoral researchers in Engineering and Medicine background. He has carried out several foreign research stays: Kurt Rossmann Lab (2000), at University of Chicago (USA), working on mammography computer-aided diagnosis algorithm development; at Institut für Technische Akustik (2011 and 2014) at RWTH (Aachen, Germany), working on advanced array processing techniques for location of acoustic sources; at University of New South Wales (UNSW@ADFA, 2012, Camberra, Australia) working in digital signal processing applied to biotremology in termites and ants; and on oceanographic research ships (Spanish Institute of Oceanography, IEO (MEDIAS campaign, 2015 and 2017), working on acoustics and digital image processing for fisheries research. Since some years ago, he had active collaborations in research with different national and international research groups: University of Malaga UMA Analytical Chemistry Group (pesticides in food quantification), Italian INFN-LNF group (X-ray microtomography new prototype), Romanian LAPI at Polytechnic University of Bucharest group (digital image processing), Prof. Moreno-Torres at UMA (acoustic phonetics applied to medical applications), several Pakistan universities (image and signal processing), Photonic Sensors and Algorithms (3D imaging) and LAV University of Cadiz group (underwater acoustics). In recent years, he has been actively involved in many projects for innovative teaching and internationalization, serving as Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Strategical Projects at University of Málaga.
