Short Bio
I received the B.Sc in “Ingeniería de Telecomunicaciones” (Electrical Engineering) from the University of Málaga in 2007, and in 2009 I joined the MAPIR research group as a Ph.D student to investigate the integration between artificial olfaction and mobile robotics. In 2010 I received the M.Sc in Mechatronics, and in November 2013 I defended my thesis “Advances in Gas Sensing and Mapping for Mobile Robotics”. Since November 2021 I work as an assistant professor, teaching a wide variety of lectures related to robotics.
