Short bio

I was born in Málaga, Spain, in 1984. I received the B.Sc in “Computer Science Engineering” from the University of Málaga in July 2009, and one year later the M.Sc in “Mechatronics”. Before that, in September 2008 I joined the MAPIR group. Since then, I have been involved in different projects as the TCS national project or the european one ExCITE. In January 2012 I obtained a FPU grant from the Spanish government, a great oportunity to take advantage of 4 years as PhD. student. In November 2016 I completed my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Málaga. Nowadays I’m a post-doc researcher at MAPIR and an assistant lecturer at the Department of Systems Engineering and Automation.
