Academic education

Bachelor of Sciences, and Master of Sciences in Electrical Engineering (1996, Communications and Electronics specialties).
I studied in Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Telecomunicación (ETSIT), at University of Málaga -UMA- in Spain. I started in 1991/92 these studies, ending with the defense of my Final Project degree titled Análisis de guiaondas ópticas mediante técnicas espectrales con transformación de variables, on 26/11/1996, under the supervision of Professor Dr. Juan Gonzalo Wangüemert Pérez.

PhD. in Electrical Engineering (Telecommunications) (2018).
In 2015/16 academic period, I enrolled in the Doctoral Program named Programa de doctorado en Ingeniería de Telecomunicación, ending with the defense of my doctoral thesis titled Planificaciones TDMA óptimas en redes submarinas de comunicación on  2018, June the 27th. My supervisors were Professors Dr. Pablo Otero Roth and Dr. Javier Poncela González.

Work

Associate Professor (ETSIT, UMA). Topic area: Signal theory and Communications (Teoría de la Señal y Comunicaciones).
I have worked as teacher in the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Telecomunicación (ETSIT), University of Málaga (Spain) -UMA- from 1998 (January), holding different positions (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor) inside the department of Ingeniería de Comunicaciones (ETSIT, UMA).

The Subjects covered include topics inside communications theory (Sistemas de comunicaciones, former Comunicaciones analógicas y digitales), systems and technical about telecommunications (former Sistemas de conmutación), or professional planning and deployment of engineering projects (Proyectos y normativa de telecomunicaciones - former Proyectos de sistemas de telecomunicaciones -, or Ingeniería de desarrollo de sistemas de telecomunicación).

Research

Member of the Instituto Universitario de Investigación de Ingeniería Oceánica (IIO)   (University of Málaga)
From its origin in 2019, May, I have been member and worked in research tasks as supervisor of PhD students, international journal publications, or communications to national and international congresses. Among my main research lines inside IIO, can be highlighted the analysis and design of underwater systems for: (i) positioning and location of ships (AUVs), (ii) environment monitoring, and (iii) acoustic communications (underwater acoustic modems).

Member of the Research Group TDIR (TIC-128, PAIDI plan from Andalusian, Spain).
From 2019 I take part in Projects regarding the underwater exploration and monitoring. These research projects, are multidisciplinary including: sonar technology, analysis and design of underwater acoustic communications networks (i.e. sensor networks, UWSNs), and image processing. The main objectives are: monitoring river plumes (in estuaries), enhancement of communications protocols at UWSNs, etc.
