Professor Gómez González was a doctor in Physics and professor of Applied Physics at the University of Seville, where he founded in 2001 - and directed until his death - the Interdisciplinary Physics Group (GFI).

The granting of this posthumous distinction is supported by his long and productive research activity, which revolved around the design, development and implementation of optical and neurophotonic technologies for non-invasive and image-guided surgery in Neurosurgery and Fetal Surgery; diagnostic aid systems and personalized medicine in Hepatology, Radiology, Neurology and other medical areas; and optical architectures for augmented reality and 2D and 3D visualization. As a result of the pandemic situation experienced worldwide, Gómez González dedicated great efforts to researching the development of technology that would allow COVID-19 to be detected on surfaces. This fact caused him to be awarded the Cross of Police Merit with White Badge at the request of the TEDAX-NRBQ Group of the National Police.

For more than twenty years he collaborated with the Andalusian Health Service in pioneering research on high technological training. At the same time, she collaborated with the HUMAINT Project of the Joint Research Center (JRC) of the European Commission in researching the social aspects of technologies based on Artificial Intelligence in the field of health.
