	Hernández Ambato, Valeria vheramb@www.iteam.upv.es	PREDOCTORAL RESEARCHER bio »
	I was born in Ecuador. I received the B.E. degree in Telecommunication and Networking Electronics Engineering at Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH), Ecuador, in 2019. I’m studing a M.Sc. degree in Communications Technologies, Systems and Networks at Universitat Politécnica de Valencia and currently I’m a research assistant (predoctoral) at group Photonic Research Labs (PRL) of iTEAM Research Institute of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Spain. I participated in “The Belt and Road International Skills Competition” in the information network cabling category, China, in 2019. This experience motivated me to improve my knowledge about fiber optics. Nowadays, I’m focused in researching about optics sensors and its applications, under the supervision of Prof. Salvador Sales.
