I was born in

Cabra

M.S. degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Seville (Spain)

Erasmus Student

From October 2001 to July 2002 I was Erasmus Student at the University of Swansea (Wales, U.K.). During that period I completed my M.S. final dissertation in the group of Prof. Jaafar Elmirghani.

Scholarship: application of Information and Communication Technologies in education

Ph.D. in Physics of Complex Systems from the Polythecnic University of Madrid (UPM)

Member of the Institute of Applied Physics of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). Ph.D. in Physics of Complex Systems from the Polythecnic University of Madrid (UPM) in 2009 (thesis: Framework for the analysis and design of encryption strategies based on discrete-time chaotic dynamical systems), supervised by Dr. Gonzalo Álvarez Marañón and Dr. Gerardo Pastor Dégano.

JAE-DOC postdoctoral research fellow (Institute of Acoustics of the Spanish National Research Council -CSIC-)

Characterization and control of nonlinear ultrasound devices.

Juan de la Cierva postdoctoral research fellow

Teaching in Computer Science and research in computational neuroscience and infor- mation security. More in detail, my research is aimed to design automatic procedures for event detection and characterization in the context of nonlinear time-varying neu- ronal dynamical systems. In addition, I have a second research line on the design and verification of privacy enhacing technologies.
