His research focuses on creating sustainable water management strategies
Jesús Garrido Rubio is an Agricultural Engineer from the Polytechnic University of Madrid and currently works at the IMDEA Water Institute. His research work has grown hand in hand with Spanish, European and Latin America funded projects aimed at remote sensing-based irrigation water accounting at different spatial and temporal management scales through a remote sensing-based soil water balance. This experience endorsed his doctorate in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences from the University of Castilla – La Mancha, in addition to promoting the publication of different articles and his participation in national and international congresses.
He joined IMDEA Water in March 2025 as a data scientist in the framework of the ERC CoG WaterTheft project, a project funded by the European Union’s HORIZONTE EUROPE research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 101124884.
