Biography
Miquel Àngel Amer has a PhD degree in Industrial Engineering by Ramón Llull University and a Master in Automated Production and Robotics by Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). Since 1996 he has been a lecturer at Escola Universitària Salesiana de Sarrià (EUSS). In 2014 he joined the UPC research group Sensors Systems Group. Within the group he has developed his research career in the field of sensors for different applications related with industry, medicine and environment areas. It is worth highlighting his research work on "on-line" and non-destructive monitoring of processes using piezoelectric sensors and in ultrasound-based systems. He has participated in 2 research projects funded by public agencies at the state level. His research work has resulted in 17 journal publications and conference contributions.
