Formación de Capital Humano


During the last 3 years I have guided 7 Engineering final projects and 2 M. Sc. thesis. Currently I am guiding 4 M. Sc. and 1 Ph. D. student


Difusión y Transferencia


During the last three years, as the head of the "Anillos Research Project ACT-11: Modeling, Optimization and Control with Applications to Networked Systems Using Wireless Communications" I have organized 3 major workshops held at Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María. These have attracted a very select group of international experts, among them a large proportion of IEEE Fellows. The events have drawn audiences of 50 or more participants from academia and industry. In addition our group has also organized smaller-scale events to discuss advances in our research, which have been open to academic participation from all Chilean Universities.
