Short Bio:
I am the Scientific Director of the Internet systems and networking group at the Telefonica Research Lab in Barcelona. During 2010, I will be an adjunct professor at the department of computer science at Columbia University, New York.
Prior to Telefonica, I worked at Microsoft Research, Cambridge. I have also worked as a Member of Technical Staff at Bell Labs (NJ, USA) and as a software architect for various startups in the Silicon Valley including Inktomi (acquired by Yahoo!) and Tahoe Networks (now part of Nokia).
I received my Ph.D. from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, EPFL (Switzerland) while working at Institut Eurécom, (Sophia Antipolis, France) with Prof. Ernst W. Biersack. During my Ph.D. I also worked at AT&T Labs - Research (Florham Park, NJ). I obtained postgraduate studies at EPFL and King's College, London respectively, and an a B.S./M.S. in Telecommunication Engineering from the Public University of Navarra.
I was born in Asturias, a beautiful region in the north of Spain (see more info).
