My name is Juan Antonio Morente Chiquero.
I was born in Porcuna (Jaén),
I was a student at the “Universidad Laboral de
Córdoba” from 1970 to 1975.
I received the “Licenciado” and “Doctor”
degrees in Physics from the University of Granada, Spain, in 1980 and 1985,
respectively.
I am presently “Catedrático” (Professor) in
the Department of Applied Physics at the
My main fields of interest and research
activities deal with:
Electromagnetics
and Acoustics.
Numerical
and computational simulation of physical systems.
Transmission-Line
Modelling (TLM) method.
Schumann
resonances and planetary atmospheres.
