El profesor Cardona es también miembro del Consejo Directivo del METIS (FP7), y METIS-II (H2020), proyecto de 5GPP sobre las tecnologias de las futuras comunicaciones móviles y de la Red Europea WIBEC en tecnologías médicas inalámbricas. En referencia a su trabajo investigador, Narcis Cardona es autor de 10 patentes, varios libros y más de 200 publicaciones. Sus actuales áreas de interés se centran en la caracterización del canal móvil, herramientas de planificación y optimización de sistemas celulares, técnicas RRM aplicadas a las comunicaciones personales y sistemas inalámbricos en entorno médico.

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. Gema Pinero on ResearchGate

Eva Antonino Daviu was born in Valencia, Spain, in 1978. She received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Universitat Politècnica de València, Valencia, Spain, in 2002 and 2008, respectively. In 2002, she joined the Electromagnetic Radiation Group, Universitat Politècnica de València, and in 2012 she became Associate Professor at this University. During 2005 she stayed for several months as a guest researcher at the Department of Antennas & EM Modelling of IMST GmbH, in Germany. Eva Antonino-Daviu has published over 100 papers in international technical journals and renowned conferences in the field of antennas and propagation, as well as two book chapters. She has participated and led several projects (regional, national and international), with both administrations and companies. She is a regular lecturer in European School of Antennas courses. Her current research interests include characteristic modes, small antennas, wideband and multi-band planar antenna design, MIMO and antenna design for mm-wave applications. Eva Antonino-Daviu was awarded the “Premio Extraordinario de Tesis Doctoral” from Universitat Politècnica de València in 2008.

Ivana Gasulla is a senior researcher (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 100 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).
