Miquel Sànchez-Marrè received a B.Sc. in Computer Science in 1988 and a M.Sc. in Computer Science in 1991 both from Barcelona School of Informatics (FIB), and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in 1996. He is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science (CS) Dept. of UPC since 1997 (tenure). He is member of the Intelligent Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Research Centre (IDEAI-UPC). He received an Accesit of the Oms i De Prat 1991 Prize, for his Master's Thesis. He co-founded the spin-off company Sanejament Intel·ligent S.L. (SISLtech, 2003-2017), which received the Energy Excellence Award 2013, and the Bioenergy Silver Award 2012. He is a pioneer member of Catalan Association of Artificial Intelligence (ACIA) and in 1994-1998 was member of its board of directors. He is a Fellow of the International Environmental Modelling and Software Society (iEMSs) since 2005. He co-organized the first Environment and AI Workshop in Europe: Binding Environmental Sciences and Artificial Intelligence (BESAI 98) at ECAI conference in 1998, and mentioned for that as contributor to the "Timeline of Artificial Intelligence" in Wikipedia. He is member of Spanish Association for Artificial Intelligence (AEPIA) and a pioneer member of iEMSs and a board member of iEMSs, too. He is also a pioneer member of the MIDAS (Spanish Network on Data Mining and Learning) and ÁTICA (Spanish network on Advance and Transference of Applied Computational Intelligence), and he was the main coordinator of the ÁTICA network. His main research topics are Intelligent Decision Support Systems, Case-Based Reasoning, Machine Learning, Data Science, Recommender Systems, Knowledge Engineering, Integrated AI architectures, and AI applied to Environmental, Industrial and Health systems. He is author of 220 peer-reviewed publications, including 6 other books.
