david.freire at ulpgc.es

I am an associate professor at ULPGC (University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) with expertise in the field of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) models applied in the sportive domain and biometrics. I completed my PhD at ULPGC under the supervision of Modesto-Castrillón-Santana. With a passion for advancing research in these areas, I am dedicated to exploring innovative approaches that bridge the gap between technology and sports performance, as well as developing secure and accurate biometric systems.
