Research professional with experience in several disciplines, like deepwater manned submarines, computer vision, wheeled and legged robotics, control systems, analog and power electronics and renewable energies. With a good engineering and mathematics formation, I am also very intuitive and especially like the difficult problems. Looking back, I see that I like to change the major axes of my research activity every X years, with 3 < X < 8. This keeps me motivated while it allows me to broaden my fields of knowledge and expertise. Although I need to get enough for a living, my primary goals are always related to knowledge and to participate in challenging civil projects. In this direction, I would like to get involved in planetary exploration, on one side, and humanoid robotics on the other side. Time will tell if I can manage doing both of them. In 2007 I joined a small team at Ictineu Submarins with the aim of building a civil submersible for 3 people and 1200m depth, Ictineu3. Indeed, a submarine is the closest thing to a spacecraft one can imagine on Earth. And I have recently (2013) started a small collaboration with isardSAT, in the field of planetary observation from satellite-based radar altimeters. In 2013 I obtained a Ramon y Cajal research grant which will allow me to pursue research in the directions of my dreams.Specialties: Computer vision; Simultaneous Localization and Mapping; Estimation and sensor fusion; Control systems; robotic systems; Renewable energies, energy in general; electricity and electronics, especially analog and power electronics; Deep-water (over 1000m) submarine technology.
