Javier Vazquez-Corral

Associate Professor, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
Leader of the Color Group, Computer Vision Center

I am an Associate Professor at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and a Research Scientist at the Computer Vision Center, where I lead the Color Group. I have developed novel approaches to problems ranging from color constancy to color stabilization, color characterization, color gamut mapping, high dynamic range imaging, image dehazing, image denoising, and vision color properties such as unique hue prediction and color naming.

I have published more than 90 papers, including in top-ranked venues and journals: CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, IEEE-TPAMI, IEEE-TIP, PR, and SIAM-SIIMS. I have a European patent granted, a second application in process, and research experience in cutting-edge labs in Spain, the UK, Canada, and Switzerland, working in high-profile research projects. I have extensive experience teaching undergraduate and master's courses in Spain and the UK, with more than 1,100 hours of teaching.
