Biography:
Dr. C. Rodríguez-Morcillo earned his Industrial Engineering degree (Electronics specialization) in 2001 from Universidad Pontificia Comillas. In 2007, he completed his PhD at the same university after developing an OFDM-based digital communications system designed to optimize transmission lines installed in transportation vehicles. In 2013, he completed a Master’s degree in Communications Technologies and Systems at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM). In 2001, he joined the Institute for Research in Technology (IIT) at the ICAI School of Engineering, Universidad Pontificia Comillas, as a Researcher, where his work focuses on bioengineering, digital systems, embedded systems, digital communications, and design and development of hardware. In 2002, he began teaching at ICAI, delivering courses in Electronics (digital and analog), Digital Signal Processing, Communication Systems in Industry and Agribusiness, and Technologies for Digital Transformation. From October 2008 to April 2017, he served as Secretary of IIT, and from February 2017 to August 2021, he was Coordinator of IIT’s Bioengineering Area. Since December 2021, he has been the Director of the Knowledge Transfer Office (OTC) at Universidad Pontificia Comillas, a role he combines with collaboration at the university’s Mobility, Biomechanics, and Health Laboratory (MOBIOS). His research interests include onboard communications, embedded systems, wireless communications, programmable logic, and digital systems.
Areas of interest:
Embedded systems. Digital systems. Autonomous systems (batteries). HW design. PCB design. PCB manufacturing. Digital communications (wired and wireless). Communication protocols. Programmable logic. Microcontrollers programming.
