Dr. Garea has focused his researches to remote sensing and to the complex interpretation of spatial data using analytical tools in Geographical Information System (GIS), digital image processing, biometry, and Semantic Processing of Spatial Data.

Dr. Garea began his work in 1993 at Havana Subway Project Enterprise (1993-1995) where develop engineering geological research for civil engineering. From 1995 to 1997 he worked at Soil Research Institute developing researches in the area of soil evaluation, classification and cartography using Geographical Information System (GIS) techniques. From 1997 to 2002 he worked at the Enterprise Group GEOCUBA IC developing researches in the area of remote sensing, digital image processing and GIS, applied to the environmental management, agricultural development and government resources management. From 2002 to 2004 he worked at Project Management Center of the Environment Ministry developing researches and applications of remote sensing and GIS. In 2003 he defended his PhD thesis obtaining a validation of a new GIS methodology for the complex integration of spatial data and a new method to spatial recognition of zones of combination of natural factors in the context of a reasoning GIS.

In 2004 he began to work at CENATAV as junior researcher, from 2007 to 2013 he was the head of the Pattern recognition Department. In 2014 he was promoted to heat of the Image and Signal Research Team. In 2011 he obtained the category of Senior Researcher and also the head of the research group on Biometrics Recognition by Iris.
