Maria Bermudez-Edo

Associate Professor

University of Granada

A telecoms engineer with extensive international experience of working for leading ICT firms and organisations, I have worked in multidisciplinary and multicultural teams in Europe, Asia, and North America. My core expertise is in Internet of Things (IoT), Data Analytics and the use of IT in business, especially the use of Semantics for business analysis (which was the focus of my PhD). Open minded and adaptable, I have a flexible approach to problem solving. I have successfully completed projects in the private and public sector, always delivering on time and to a high standard. I was a postdoc Research Fellow at the University of Surrey, with two previous long secondments to the University of Berkeley and ETH Zurich, which developed my skills in research, teaching, and project management, in the areas of Internet of Things, Future Internet, Data Analytics and Semantics. While at Granada I obtained two MScs and a PhD (all with distinction). Previously, I worked at the European Patent Office and with leading private telecom companies (Siemens and Telefonica). This experience has provided me with an extensive knowledge of telecom innovation and know-how in computer networks and protocols.
