Juan holds a BEng (Mechatronics) and is undertaking a PhD in robotics and autonomous systems at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia.

His primary interests comprise autonomous Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (sUAV) decision-making, machine learning and computer vision for sUAV remote sensing, with a focus on hyperspectral and high-resolution image processing. Juan has worked for research projects in biosecurity, environment monitoring and time-critical applications such as land search and rescue to find lost people in collapsed buildings and bushlands.
