Biography
Juan used machine learning and data analytic approaches for assessment of multi-temporal, -spatial and -modal data to create tools for the analysis of multiple geophysical data including atmospheric, seismic and infrasonic signals. These tools applied statistical and machine learning methods to construct systems that help in the monitoring of various phenomena such as potential volcanism, avalanches, and landslides.
