R. Miralles was born in Valencia (Spain) in 1971. He received the Bachelor of Science in Engineering in 1995 and the Ph.D. degree in Telecommunication Engineering in 2000 from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). In 1996 he became a lecturer in the Escuela Politécnica Superior de Gandia (Valencia). Since 2000, he has been working as an Assistant Professor in the Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación (Valencia). He is responsible for the development of algorithms and systems for nondestructive testing in the alimentary industry using ultrasound and for passive acoustic detection of cetaceans. He joined the Institute of Telecommunication and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM) of UPV where he is part of the management team. His research interests are higher order statistics, nonlinear signal processing, signal processing applications for ultrasonic systems and bioacustic signal processing. He has published 60 papers in journals and conference communications.

Gema Piñero (Ms. Telecommunications Engineering, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid ‘90; Ph.D. Engineering, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia ’97) was born in Madrid (Spain) in 1965. She is currently a Professor at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. Since 1992 she has worked in private and public-funding projects on different research topics: array signal processing, adaptive algorithms for active noise control, mobile communications and sound quality. She is part of the Audio and Communications Signal Processing (GTAC) group of the Institute of Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM) of Valencia. She has published more than 70 contributions in relevant journals and conferences on the area. Her current research focuses on acoustic networks and their applications. She has been a visiting professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2011) and the Imperial College London (2016). She is a senior member of the IEEE and founding member of the Spanish Association for Research and Teaching UNIVERSITAS. See my ORCID profile

Eva Antonino-Daviu was born in Valencia (Spain) in 1978. She received her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Universitat Politècnica de València, Valencia, Spain, in 2002 and 2008, respectively. In 2005, she joined the Communications Department at Universitat Politècnica de València as Assistant Professor, and in 2012 she became Associate Professor at this University. In 2005 she joined the Institute of Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM), where she became Vice-Director of Research in 2016. In 2005 she stayed as a guest researcher at the Department of Antennas & EM Modelling of IMST (Kamp-Lintfort, Germany), at the Laboratory of Electronics, Antennas and Telecommunications (LEAT) of the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis (France) in 2018, and at the ATHENA Group of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta, GA, USA) in 2019, where she has been working on the use of additive manufacturing techniques for antenna design. Her current research interests include characteristic modes, small antennas, wideband and multi-band antenna design, and antenna design for MIMO, IoT and mm-wave applications. Eva Antonino-Daviu has published more than 200 papers in renowned journals and conferences in the field of antennas and propagation, as well as 2 book chapters. Moreover, she has participated and led several national and international projects with both public and private funding. Eva Antonino-Daviu is a member of the IEEE Society and a EurAAP delegate. She is Associate Editor of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine and a regular reviewer for IEEE Trans. on Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine, IEEE Trans. on Industrial Informatics and IET Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation, and since 2005 she has participated very actively in the courses of the European School of Antennas (ESoA). Since 2018, she leads the EurAAP working group on Small Antennas (http://small-antennas.eu/), with more than 30 European institutions involved. Eva Antonino was the recipient of 2019 IEEE AP-S Lot Shafai Mid-Career Distinguished Achievement Award, for her contribution to the systematic design of antenna systems for practical applications using characteristic modes and promoting access of women to engineering.

Ivana Gasulla is a Distinguished Researcher (previously, Ramon y Cajal Fellow) and deputy director for Dissemination and Promotion at the ITEAM Research Institute of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) . In 2016, she was awarded a prestigious ERC Consolidator Grant to develop new Space-Division Multiplexing technologies for emergent fiber-wireless communications through the project InnoSpace. Ivana Gasulla received the M.Sc. and the Ph.D. degrees from UPV, respectively, in 2005 and 2008. Her PhD thesis, focused on broadband radio over multimode fiber transmission, was recognized with the IEEE/LEOS Graduate Student Fellowship Award. In 2012 she was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to carry out research on spatial division multiplexing at Stanford University. Back to ITEAM in 2014, her current research interests encompass the application of multimode and multicore fibers to Microwave Photonics systems. The results of her work have led to more than 125 international publications, highlighting contributions to Nature Communications and Nature Photonics. She is a member of the Technical Program Committee of the most prestigious conferences in the field: European Conference on Optical Communications (ECOC), Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC) and IEEE International Topical meeting on Microwave Photonics (MWP), among others.
