Bio

In this section I tried to chop my research career in 3 different stages.

Post-Doctorate years

Development of Computer Vision and communication applications, design of \textbf{gimbal}-based onboard surveillance systems for firefighting and SAR mission aircrafts. Development of software for the control and configuration of onboard gimbal-mounted camera systems (visible, IR, multispectral). Aerial image orthorectification techniques. Detection of shapes. Photogrammetry. Projection onto 3D terrain. I set the requirements and assessment for onboard and cloud systems for surveillance in the largest fleet of helicopters for Emergency Services in Spain, including firefighting and sea-rescue. Working with \textbf{military-grade sensing systems} and \textbf{coordinating research groups} in different universities keeps me updated in the state of the art. \textbf{Equipment}: Trakka gimbals, with InfraTec and FLIR thermographic cameras, Sony visible cameras, Microstrain navigation solutions (inertial sensors), GPS, Iridium-based modem devices, SVP Broadcast Microwave H265 Aerial Video Transmission, Centum AIS and Lifeseeker. Work under ISO 9001 based standards. While still affiliated to USC, I

PhD years

I succeeded publishing the required papers in Q1-ranked journals and presented my work in international congresses. I \textbf{defended and published my PhD thesis in 2019}, awarded with \textbf{Cum Laude}. Refer to the details in in the \textit{Publications} section of this CV.\I designed, implemented and analyzed my own methods and algorithms. I validated my contributions from experiments performed using my own code, which I developed myself in C++ and Python for Linux/Windows/Mac to work in real-time with Parrot drones. My software performs feature extraction in images, real-time processing of streamed video from the vehicle, and finally 3D environment abstraction using points, lines and targets. I registered my software through the USC transfer office.

My side hustle during my PhD years was closely related with the research and experimental work I was doing in the University. Doing technical support in laboratories got me familiar with rapid prototyping. I have also taught programming for Raspberry Pi with OpenCV and sensors. I have also taught students how to pilot different kinds of fixed wing aircraft and multicopters equipped with ArduPilot, same as I was doing for the experimental part of my research work.

Globally, what I learnt was:

  • Learnt advanced C++
  • Designed my own algorithms
  • Implemented my code.

Early Stage Researcher

  • Learnt more advanced object-oriented coding.
  • Learnt C++
  • Examples: OpenFoam solvers
  • Designed my own algorithms
  • Implemented my code.

Fresh master graduate

  • Learnt more advanced object-oriented coding.

Quotes are cool.

Buttons

Make any link standout more when applying the .btn class.

Notices

Watch out! You can also add notices by appending {: .notice} to a paragraph.

HTML Tags

Address Tag

1 Infinite Loop
Cupertino, CA 95014
United States

This is an example of a link.

Abbreviation Tag

The abbreviation CSS stands for “Cascading Style Sheets”.

Cite Tag

“Code is poetry.” —Automattic

Code Tag

You will learn later on in these tests that word-wrap: break-word; will be your best friend.

Strike Tag

This tag will let you strikeout text.

Emphasize Tag

The emphasize tag should italicize text.

Insert Tag

This tag should denote inserted text.

Keyboard Tag

This scarcely known tag emulates keyboard text, which is usually styled like the <code> tag.

Preformatted Tag

This tag styles large blocks of code.

.post-title {
  margin: 0 0 5px;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 38px;
  line-height: 1.2;
  and here's a line of some really, really, really, really long text, just to see how the PRE tag handles it and to find out how it overflows;
}

Quote Tag

Developers, developers, developers… –Steve Ballmer

Strong Tag

This tag shows bold text.

Subscript Tag

Getting our science styling on with H2O, which should push the “2” down.

Superscript Tag

Still sticking with science and Isaac Newton’s E = MC2, which should lift the 2 up.

Variable Tag

This allows you to denote variables.
