Profile:

I received the M.Sc. (2000) and the Ph.D. (2005) Degrees in Telecommunications Engineering from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). I also received the Dr. Ing. Degree in Electrical Engineering from Politecnico di Torino (2000). I am currently Associate Professor in the Optical Communications group of the Signal Theory and Communications Dept. of UPC. Since 2000 I am a staff member of the Optical Communications Group of UPC/TSC. I have participated in various European and National research projects as scientific coordinator and contributor.

My research interests are in the fields of all-optical networks with emphasis in Traffic Engineering and Resilience, Optical Transmission technologies, multi-granular optical switching, Optical network devices virtualization, Control and management of optical networks, intra/inter data centres architecture design, Software Defined Networking/Network Function Virtualization, Planning and operation of multi-core/SDM optical networks, Data Centres Federation, IoT, Cloud/Fog computing.

I am serving on the editorial board of the Springer Photonic Network Communications journal. I am regularly participating in several TPCs, including IEEE Globecom and ICC. Since 2016, I am senior member of IEEE.

I am teaching courses about Optical Communications Systems and Optical Networks at Escola d’Enginyeria de Telecomunicació i Aeroespacial de Castelldefels (EETAC) and Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria de Telecomunicació de Barcelona (ETSETB).
