I am a Part-time Professor at the University of A Coruña, Spain. I received the M.S. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of A Coruña in 2002, and a PhD in Computer Science from the University of A Coruña in 2015.
I am a member of the CITIC (Centre for Information and Communications Technology Research), www.citic-research.org. My main research activities are focused to ubiquitous computing and cognitive robotics. Since 2019 I am the software development team leader at MINT company, which commercializes the Robobo educational robot (theroboboproject.com).
