Dr. Jose Manuel Gandía Romero is an Associate Professor at Universitat Politècnica de València, School of Building Engineering, Department of Architectural Constructions. He earned a PhD in Building Engineering (2015), a Master’s in Building Engineering – Technology specialization (2010), a Bachelor’s in Building Engineering (2011), a Bachelor’s in Technical Architecture (2006), all from Universitat Politècnica de València, and a Bachelor’s in Art History (2000) from Universitat de València. Since 2011, he has focused on concrete durability and corrosion monitoring of reinforced concrete structures, participating in national and European projects funded by the European Commission, the Spanish State Research Agency, and the Valencian Innovation Agency. He has developed embedded electrochemical sensors, potentiostatic corrosion monitoring systems, and smart sensors for structural health monitoring, collaborating with industry and producing seven patents (three licensed). He has conducted research stays at the University of Houston (USA) and the University of Alicante (Spain). His contributions include over 25 peer-reviewed JCR papers, multiple book chapters, and conference presentations. His research interests include digital technologies for heritage tourism management, corrosion and durability monitoring, electrochemical sensors, embedded monitoring systems, and predictive structural health monitoring.
