I am a Senior Research Scientist at Nokia Bell Labs, working at the Small Cells Team of the Mobile Networks Laboratory at the Wireless Networks Division. I earned my PhD degree in Wireless Communications at the University of Bedfordshire (UoB), Luton, UK in 2011, and received my Bachelor and Master degrees in Telecommunications from the Miguel Hernandez University (UMH), Elche, Spain in 2003 and 2006, respectively. As a post-doc, I was Research Associate at the Centre for Telecommunications Research (CTR) at King's College London (KCL), London, UK from Aug. 2011 until Jan. 2012. As an invited researcher, I was visiting the DOCOMO Innovation Labs in Palo Alto, California in 2011, and the Institut National des Sciences Appliquees in Lyon, France in 2009. I have published over 100 book chapters, journal and conference papers, all in recognized venues and filed more than 40 patents. I am editor of the following book: "Heterogeneous Cellular Networks: Theory, Simulation and Deployment", Cambridge University Press, 2013. I am an editor of IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications (2016). I am or have been guest editor of a number of journals, e.g., IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, IEEE Communications Magazine, IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine, IEEE Access, ACM Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) and EURASIP Journal of Computer Networks and Communications (JCNC). I was selected as Nokia Talent (2017) I received the IEEE Com Soc Best Young Professional Industry Award in recognition of "my outstanding contributions to the industry in terms of innovative Communications Research and Development, specially in the area of networking techniques for cellular networks" (2016). I was finalist for the Scientist of the Year prize in The Irish Lab Awards (2013, 2015). I have been honored as invited lecturer in the Bell Labs Presidential Lecture Series, and "invitation that a Bell Labs researcher can expect to receive once every 100 years" (2015). I have received the ALU Bell Labs Certificate of Outstanding Achievement (2013, 2014, 2015). I have received the ALU Bell Labs Award of Excellence (2013). I was nominated Exemplary Reviewer for IEEE Comm. Lett. (2011). I was awarded as PhD Marie Currie Fellow(2007). Since 2012, I am founding member of IEEE Technical subcommittee on Green Communications and Computing (TSCGCC) Special Interest Group on Green Cellular Networks (SIGGCN). I am or have also been chair of a number of workshops, e.g., the 8th, 7th, 6th, 5th and 4th International Workshop on Heterogeneous And Small Cell Networks (HetSNet), in conjunction with IEEE Globecom, among others. Moreover, I have also been presenting tutorials and participating in panels at both IEEE Globecom and IEEE ICC from 2011 to 2016. In 2007, I was received a Marie-Curie Fellowship for PhD studies at CWiND at UoB, Luton, UK, where I participated in the FP6 Marie Curie research project: "RANPLAN-HEC ” (MESTCT-2005-020958), and the first EPSRC-funded research project on femtocells: “The feasibility study of WiMAX based femtocells for indoor coverage” (EP/F067364/1). In 2006, I took up a research scholarship at the Centre for Adaptive Wireless Systems (AWS) at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT), Cork, Ireland. I worked for a year on a project called “UbiOne – The Multi-Modal WiFi Positioning System”. The main goal of the project was to prove that the major disadvantages of the poor accuracy of existing indoor location systems can be overcome by fusing two complementary location techniques, radio signal strength indication (RSSI) and radio signal time of flight (TOF) with a unique self-calibrating approach. In 2005, I was with VODAFONE SPAIN, working at the Radio Frequency Department in the area of network planning and optimization, where I participated in the development of the VODAFONE Automatic Frequency Planning tool for GSM and DCS networks. |
