Antonio Martínez-Nicolás holds a degree in Biology from the University of Murcia (2008). He obtained a Master in Technology and Research in Biomedical Sciences and a Certificate for teaching ability in Natural Sciences, both from University of Murcia (2009) and Estatistical Learning and Data Mining Master from National Distance Education University (2010). He reached his international PhD in Medicine from University of Murcia (2014). Finally, he is authorized to design, lead, research and carel ab animals (2015).

  • His main research interests are:
    • Free living condition monitoring of physiological and behavioural variables.
    • Circadian system chronoenhancement by means of bright light therapy and exercise in order to improve participants’ health.
    • Sleep detection by activity, skin temperature, light and heart rate.
    • Disease detection by circadian system alterations. For example, hypertension, non-dipping pattern of blood pressure, sleep apnoea, obesity or even premature ageing.
