Biosketch

I was born in La Linea de la Concepción in 1994, a beautiful fishing village in the province of Cádiz, in southern Spain. In most of my childhood and adolescence, I lived in Algeciras, a very close city. I was always interested in technology, and I enjoyed buying and making my own tools and small domestic DIY projects. That's why I choose to study science and technology from 2012. My main achievements are: 2012-17 Electronics, Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering. University of Málaga. 2015 Internship at NRG. Design and development of simulations for Binoccio, the humanoid robot from the European project H2R. 2016-17 Bachelors thesis at NRG. (Honors) Analysis of robotic bipedal gait and human-robot interaction in wearable robotics for rehabilitation. 2018-19 Master in Robotics and Automation. Carlos III University. 2019 Masters thesis at NRG. Design of robotic bipedal locomotion database for EUROBENCH.

Research

Currently, among many other things, I work on the design of robotic evaluation protocols and scenarios, the acquisition and processing of robotic gait data and the development of software and databases for the European project EUROBENCH.
