Mariano L. Alcañiz is the founding director of the Immersive Neurotechnologies Laboratory (LabLENI) at the UPV and a Full Professor at the Polytechnic University of Valencia. His research interests revolve around a better understanding and improvement of human cognition, combining knowledge and methods from computer science, psychology, and neuro-science. His work focuses on using empirical methodologies from behavioral sciences to explore people while they interact in these digital worlds, but also on research aimed at developing new ways to produce extended reality (XR) simulations. He has published over 250 academic articles, in interdisciplinary journals such as Scientific Reports and PLoS One, as well as in specific domain journals in the fields of engineering, computer science, psychology, marketing, management, and education. His work has been continuously funded by the Spanish Research Agency and the European Commission for 30 years. He has been part of several Spanish and EU scientific committees investigating the use of ICT in different disciplines. He has advised on Virtual Reality policy projects for various government agencies and companies and founded several spin-off companies related to his field of research, such as Previ and Quatechnion.
