Research

My research interests center on multi-hop wireless networks, mathematical modeling, and the optimization of large-scale telecommunication problems. In addition, I am also engaged in research on security and privacy, as well as the physical layer of wireless channels. I collaborate with other departments and colleagues in diverse research areas, which I find both enriching and beneficial for expanding my expertise.

One of the main motivations for diversifying our research focus is that, as a medium-sized department with limited resources, we have faculty members with varied expertise within Telecommunication Engineering. We have consolidate a research group that leverage this diversity to explore new research directions and fully utilize each member's unique experience. Our initial step has been to propose simpler, cross-disciplinary solutions to known problems, often more straightforward than state-of-the-art approaches. 

Multi-hop wireless network

I working in this subject since my PhD .  More precisely , my work is about routing protocols for non delay-sensitive applications in vehicular ad hoc networks. These applications are for instance traffic stats reporting or infractions reporting. I also proposed some improvemts in the operation of routing protocols, and other other mechanism to improve the communication performance.

Mathematical modeling and optimization of telecomuncations problems

During my PhD , I studied the Msc in Statistics and Operational Research at UPC. I learnt about mathematical modelling and optimization methods to solve large problems that can involve millons of variables. I am fascinated by this subject and I have proposed some models for optimal infraestructure deployment

Wireless channel and Physical layer of 802.11

I am working with Diego Reinoso, David Vega and Cecilia Paredes on modeling  the wireless channel and physical layer of 802.11 for multi-hop wireless network. We will include our enhancements in network simulators. Our aim is to provide more realistic wireless channel and physical layer but keeping them simple enough to not slow down simulation speed.

Security, Privacy and Anonymity

I Iworked a little with anonimty-preserved routing protocols for VANETs during my PhD.

Now I colaborate with José Estrada and  Ana Rodriguez under their research project on privacy-preserving in online activities (incluing advertising and machine learning applications)

In addition, I am tutoring Marco Sánchez, a PhD student of the Doctorado de Informática at EPN. He is working on fraud detection
