Dr. Jorge Angás is a permanent ARAID researcher in the Department of Ancient Sciences at the University of Zaragoza, a member of the First Settlers and Archaeological Heritage Research Group (P3A) and IPH. His scientific work focuses on the analysis and implementation of multiscale and multitemporal geospatial data applied to archaeological heritage, utilizing advanced geomatics techniques. He has an extensive international career, with research stays in Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates, France, and Italy, as well as collaborations with institutions such as UPM and USAL. His scientific output comprises 60 publications, including 15 Q1 articles, 2 Q2 articles, 23 book chapters, and 3 monographs, alongside 71 conference presentations, 40 of which were by invitation. He serves as Principal Investigator (PI) of two major competitive projects: Digital Twins for the Conservation of Cultural Heritage: Management, Monitoring, and Interpretation of Geospatial Data (DiGHER), funded by MCIU/AEI and the EU, and the European project Digital Cultural Heritage Twins Connections (HerOn), funded by UNITA GEEI. Additionally, he has led nine projects funded by the French Ministry of Culture (2010-2024). His scientific contributions extend to regional (SEFORA, FORAU DE LA TUTA), national (CERAC, GAPS and Sites), and European (Handpas, FirstArt) projects. In 2019, he published the open-access monograph Geometric Documentation of Cultural Heritage: Analysis of Techniques, Trials, and New Perspectives, a key reference on the transfer of geomatic sciences to archaeology and cultural heritage. In 2024, he co-edited Documentation and Conservation of Rock Art: Prehistoric Arts and Present Perspectives. His societal impact is reflected in technological development and knowledge transfer to public and private institutions. He has managed over 80 transfer contracts (11 since 2023 with OTRI UNIZAR) with organizations such as the Ministère de la Culture DRAC-Occitanie, the National Museum of Altamira, the University of Barcelona, CSIC, and private companies. He co-founded the spin-off Scanner Patrimonio e Industria (2007-2025) and has established know-how transfer agreements with OTRI UNIZAR, as well as securing two intellectual property titles with the University of Granada and UPM. In 2023, he was awarded a special mention for scientific dissemination at the Tercer Milenio Awards for his work on digital twins in the archaeological site of Forau de la Tuta. He has contributed to the training of young researchers through 70 credits in undergraduate and master's programs (2019-2025), the supervision of 12 bachelor's theses (TFG), 4 master's theses (TFM), and a doctoral dissertation at UNIZAR funded by the Government of Aragón. He has tutored 4,210 hours of national and international university internships (2014-2024) and participated in educational innovation projects (USAL, 2018; UNIZAR, 2022-2024). He is a reviewer for journals such as Computer Applications in Archaeology, Digital Applications in Archaeology, and Journal of Cultural Heritage (2015-2021). He has directed courses and seminars at the University of Teruel Summer School (2013) and UIMP (2022-2023). Currently, he coordinates the Documentation and Dissemination Group of the National Scientific Committee on Rock Art (CCNAR-ICOMOS) (2019-2025), serves as an external advisor to the National Archaeology Plan of IPCE (2024), and directs the
