Juan M. Haut is a Tenured Associate Professor (Profesor Titular de Universidad) at the University of Extremadura in Cáceres, Spain, and a member of the Hyperspectral Computing Laboratory (HyperComp) in the Department of Computer and Communication Technology. He received his Ph.D. in Information Technology from the same university in 2019, with international mention.

His research develops deep learning methods for hyperspectral remote sensing, combining GPU acceleration, high-performance computing and distributed systems for efficient analysis of large-scale data. Recent work covers band selection, semantic segmentation, spectral unmixing and image retrieval, with applications extending to network intrusion detection. His publication list includes 95 journal articles and 63 conference contributions; Google Scholar provides current citation metrics.

An IEEE Senior Member, he chairs the Spanish Chapter of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) and serves as an Associate Editor of Remote Sensing and an Editorial Board Member of Scientific Reports. He has led competitive research projects supported by the European Commission, Spain’s Agencia Estatal de Investigación and the BBVA Foundation’s Leonardo Grants programme. In 2022, he received the University of Extremadura’s Research Excellence Award for young researchers in the technical field. Further details of his education, academic appointments and distinctions are available in his CV.
