Site card
We are a group of twenty people ¿researchers, technical staff, administrative staff and trainee research staff. The UPM members are associated with the HTSE for Agronomy, Food and Biosystems, but researchers associated with the CSIC at the UCM and the Huesca Higher Polytechnic School also belong to our group.
We are also members of the Agri-Food and Health cluster at the Moncloa IEC.
Our work focusses on the following lines of research:
Our group has a laboratory -Physical Properties and Advanced Agri-food techniques Laboratory (LPF-TAG)- located in the HTSE for Agronomy, which has the equipment needed to assess the mechanical, acoustic and chemical properties of agricultural products. It also has electronic and sensor equipment to develop sensors, non-destructive measuring equipment for use in the field and in the laboratory, and equipment for calculating optical properties, using spectrometry and multi-spectral imaging techniques.
A large part of our research has international standing, as is obvious from the large number of European projects we take part in and from the researchers from various parts of the world we host in our laboratory.
Several of our researchers have developed patents and software programs, some of which are licensed.
Some of our members have also received important awards, such as the Award of Merit from the European Society of Agricultural Engineers.
