Sergio García-Pérez (Doctor Architect) is an Assistant Professor in Urban Design and Planning at the University of Zaragoza. His work focuses on urban design and urban regeneration across different urban fabrics and scales, approaching it through advanced spatial analysis and the use of massive geodata techniques and sources (geocomputation, data analysis, and web mapping). His research centers on exploring the adaptability of the urban environment to contemporary climatic and social challenges, addressing issues such as the obsolescence of residential tissues and the quality of public space.

In 2015, he began his research career through a predoctoral contract (BES-2015-072536). His doctoral thesis, defended in 2019, was awarded International Mention and Cum Laude. Since 2024, he has been accredited as a Tenured Professor by ANECA, with a research evaluation recognized by CNEAI for the period 2016-2021. He has undertaken research stays at the Universidade do Porto on two occasions and at the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. He is a member of the research group Paisajes Urbanos y Proyecto Contemporáneo (PUPC) and the Institute for Heritage and Humanities (IPH), and he actively participates in international scientific networks such as ISUF and ISUF-H.

His scientific activity includes 18 published articles, sixteen indexed in JCR or SJR, with ten of them as the first author. Six articles are published in first-decile journals and nine in first-quartile journals. He was the editor of issue 19 of ZARCH, which was a finalist in the Bienal Ibero-Americana de Arquitectura y Urbanismo (BIAU), and he is currently the journal’s secretary. He has also participated in more than 30 national and international conferences, being keynote speaker in two of them. He has contributed to internationally and nationally significant research projects, such as TEMPUS-SEHUD (2012-2015) and UR-HESP (2015-2017), as well as the PID2020-116893RB-I00 (PER-START, 2020-2024) project. Additionally, he has led the JIUZ2022-IAR-01 project on the resilience of suburban expansions. His work has had a strong outreach component through web mapping, attracting interest from both the scientific community and society.

In the professional sphere, he has collaborated with the urban think tank 300,000 Km/s (Premio Nacional de Urbanismo CSCAE 2019), participating in applied research projects related to urban analysis and geocomputation, including the Regional Land-Use Plan for Cantabria, a residential indicators system for Campo Grande (Brazil), and the Affordable Housing Atlas. He was also the coordinator of Observatorio Ciudad 3R (2020), working with the Ministries of Public Works and Ecological Transition on policy analysis for urban regeneration.

His teaching career is closely linked to the University of Zaragoza, where he teaches undergraduate and master's courses in Architecture Studies. Since 2022, he has been responsible for Urbanismo 2, Cartographic Methods, and Gestión Urbanística y Paisajística. He has supervised ten Final Degree Projects and is currently co-supervising a Doctoral Thesis. Within the University of Zaragoza’s Teaching Innovation Program, he has led a project on the use of artificial intelligence in cartographic learning. He has contributed to various publications in specialized journals and conferences, including the Architectural Education Innovation Conferences (JIDA).
