Gustau Camps-Valls (LPI) and Henk J. Bolink (ICMol), among the most cited in the world according to the ranking Highly Cited Researchers

Written by admin | 15/12/2025

Two researchers from the University of Valencia Science Park (PCUV) are listed in the Highly Cited Researchers (HCR) 2025, a ranking by bibliometric data provider Clarivate Analytics, which encompasses the world scientific elite in terms of the number of citations of their research work

Gustau Camps-Valls excels in geosciences, in Clinical Medicine, and Henk J. Bolink has multidisciplinary impact in various fields. Highly Cited Researchers is an annual list that selects the most influential specialists from around the world in the last decade, for their exceptional research performance, measured by the production of highly cited articles that are in the top 1% in number of citations per field and year in Web of Science Core Collection. The 2025 list lists its scientific production during the period 2014-2024 in one or more of the 21 fields used. In this edition, the list contains 6,868 female and male researchers.

Gustau Camps-Valls is professor of UV Electronic Engineering and coordinator of the research group Image and Signal Processing (ISP), at the Image Processing Laboratory (IPL), research centre of the PCUV, a group of 50 researchers on artificial intelligence for image, signal and data processing. Their contributions focus on the development of machine learning algorithms for remote sensing, earth observation and geoscience data analysis.

He has been named a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the largest international organization dedicated to Earth and space sciences. Author of over 300 articles in international journals, has coordinated more than 20 international research projects, holds an ERC Consolidator Grant project and a Synergy Grant project, also from the European Research Council, to improve climate models with AI and Earth system data. In addition, it has recently been among the most cited researchers worldwide according to Stanford University

Henk J. Bolink is a professor of inorganic chemistry at the University of Valencia, responsible for the group of molecular optoelectronic devices (MOED) at the Institute of Molecular Science (ICMol), located in the scientific-academic area of the PCUV, and coordinator of the VALHALLA project  (Horizon Europe) on photovoltaics based on vacuum-processed perovskite. Doctorate in Materials Science from the University of Groningen (Netherlands) in 1997, and incorporated into the University of Valencia in 2003, after passing through the multinational Chemistry and Electronics companies DSM and Philips. Since 1993 he has been working in the field of organic semiconductor optoelectronic devices.

Currently, his research group works on the study and development of inorganic and organic hybrid materials such as molecular semiconductors and perovskites, and their integration into LEDs and solar cells, mainly through dry processing routes, as thermal sublimation. He was awarded one of the RSEQ 2016 Research Excellence Awards and received an Advanced Grant from the prestigious ERC. He has published nearly 360 articles which have been cited more than 27,000 times. Collaborates with leading global companies such as Osram, Oxford PV, Novaled and Airbus Defense and Space. He has conducted 31 doctoral theses, holds 17 patents and has been a principal investigator on some 20 industry-funded research projects and 19 EU-funded projects.
