The research team is composed of around 20 members. Most of members are computer, telecommunications and electronic engineers, forming a stable, compact and high competitive group.
There is a relevant group of “senior” researchers with more than 10 years of experience (around 30% of the researchers), most of which are combining their research activities with their work as lecturers in the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Deusto. Also, we have a member who is carrying out his postdoc at our group.
There is a high number of “junior” researchers which are members of technical scientific staff, or are collaborating with us as MSc or PhD students. In fact, at this moment 5 doctoral dissertations are in progress. Moreover, a relevant number of members are undergraduate students who are doing their undergraduate projects with us.
