About me
Associate Professor at University of Granada.
I received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Telecommunication Engineering, both with honours, from the University of Málaga (Spain) in 2008 and 2013, respectively. I am currently an associate professor at the Department of Signal Theory, Telematic and Communications of the University of Granada (Spain) and a member of the Wireless and Multimedia Networking lab (TIC-235) research group headed by Prof. Juan Manuel López-Soler and the Research Center on Information and Communications Technologies (CITIC).
My reseach interests include radio access network planning and management, time-sensitive networks, artificial intelligence for radio resource management, network slicing, spectrum sharing and virtualization of wireless networks.
Resume
Becoming an Engineer
2002 - 2008
I received the M.Sc. degree, with special award, in Telecommunication Engineering from the University of Málaga (Spain). My master thesis "Development Tools for Cypress PSoC: an Application to Pulse Oximetry" was supervised by Prof. Antonio Díaz Estrella and focused on the analysis and evaluation of a Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC) by implementation of a pulse oximeter.
The doctoral journey
2009 - 2013
In 2009, I was awarded a competitive grant from the Andalusian Government to support my research towards the Ph.D. degree in optimization of mobile radio access networks under the supervision of Prof. Raquel Barco. During this period, I participated in European COST Actions 2100 and IC1004, under which I performed a Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) focusing on indoor mobility models at the Department of Mobile Radio Systems (headed by Prof. Thomas Kürner) of the Technical University of Braunschweig (Germany). Also, I was a visiting researcher at the Radio Access Technology Section (headed by Prof. Preben Mogensen) of Aalborg University (Denmark) in collaboration with Nokia Networks, where I explored new ideas for traffic steering in Heterogeneous Networks. In 2013, I defended my Ph.D. thesis "Optimization of Mobility Parameters using Fuzzy Logic and Reinforcement Learning in Self-Organizing Networks", with special recognition by the Faculty and awarded by the Andalusian Association of Telecommunications Engineers at the XII "Night of Telecommunications". I also received recognition at the VII "Juan López de Peñalver" research awards of the General Foundation of the University of Málaga.
Being a postdoc
2013 - 2017
Upon completing Ph.D. studies, I continued my career at the University of Málaga as a researcher within an R&D contract with Optimi-Ericsson (~2M€) aimed at the development of Self-Organizing Network functionalities for detection and solution of failures. In 2014, I held a postdoc position granted by the Andalusian Government during one year in support of research and teaching.
In 2016, I was the recipient of a competitive "Juan de la Cierva" fellowship at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Spain), where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Oriol Sallent Roig. My research work was related to the European H2020 project SESAME focused on self-x features and radio access management techniques in multi-tenant small cell networks.
Holding a lecturer position
2017 - Present
In 2017, I joined the Department of Signal Theory, Telematics, and Communications at the University of Granada (Spain), first as assistant professor and later as associate professor. Since then, I have been participating in different national and European projects in the field of 5G systems. Specifically, I have participated in the European H2020 project 5G-CLARITY (~5.7M€) aiming at the development of a beyond 5G architecture for private networks. Currently, I participate in UNICO-5G 6G-CHRONOS (~1M€) aiming at designing a B5G network service framework that incorporates the paradigm of Deterministic Networking as a design principle on 5G network slicing. I serve as a co-principal investigator for the PID2022 6G-INSPIRE project within the national program. In this context, I am the supervisor of two Ph.D. candidates. In addition to pure R&D projects, I have participated in several Research Networks from dynamization actions and Scientific-Technical Equipment projects. Moreover, I serve as a co-principal investigator for the UNICO-5G 6G-CAERUS project within the national Promotion Plan of Telecommunication Studies, paying special interest to Master’s students and promoting female vocations through specific initiatives and guidance to pre-university students.
Besides, I participated in the organization of IEEE Conference on Standards for Communications and Networking (CSCN) 2019 and I was Guest Editor of the Special Issue "Radio Access Network Planning and Management" in journal Electronics. I also work as expert evaluator at the National Agency of Evaluation and Prospective (ANEP), and I cover various management responsibilities at the Faculty, in particular, the Secretary of the Department of Signal Theory, Telematic and Communications, the membership of the Academic Commission for the M.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering and the membership of the Centre's Board.
