I graduated in Telecommunications Engineering at Polytechnic University
of Catalonia (UPC) in 1991 and got the PhD degree in Telecommunications
Engineering at UPC in 1998. I joined the ATM Traffic Management group
at the Computer Architecture Departament in 1993. From that year I have
participated in several European
projects such as EXPLOIT, BAF, EXPERT,
NETPERF and MOEBIUS, WIDENS (VI
FP) and actually
I participate in the EuroNGI
(VI FP) project. I now am
full time associate (in Spain we call it
"Titular
de Universidad") at the Computer Architecture Department at UPC. My
areas of
interest
were communications systems and Broadband Networks (my PhD was on ATM
traffic
control stuff) but in recent years I have moved to TCP/IP stuff (IPv4,
IPv6,
QoS in IP...), Mobile communications (Mobile IPv4/v6, MANETs, WIFI,
WMN,...) and Internet routing (BGP4 and Internet taxonomy). Lastly I
have been working in VANETs (Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks). In this area
the research group have participated in V-NET-II (2006-07) and
V-NET-III (2007-08) Specific Join Research Activity projects inside the
Euro-NGI, FGI (Network of
Excellence). I am also working in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks
(WMSN).I have also
participated as AIDIT (Agencia de
Acreditacion en Investigacion, Desarrollo e Innovacion Tecnologica)
evaluator of Spanish National Projects.
Research
Activities
My research group,CompNet,
is leadered by Prof. Jorge Garcia-Vidal.
In this location you may find my Phd Thesis
and Papers
in which I have participated.
I have participated in the organization of the ITCSS 2001 and EW2004 conferences, 3rd and 4th EuroNGI Workshops
on Wireless and Mobility and I have
been TPC
member in the EW2004.
I have participated as a reviewer
(delegated by TPC members of that conferences) of several
conferences: PIMRC 2007, 2006 and 2005, European Wireless (EW) 2008,
2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, Broadband 2006, NGI
2006, ISCC 2005, Networking 2008, 2005, 2002 and
2000, ITCSS 2001, QoFIS 2000
and 2001, Cluster 2000, INFOCOM 98, ITC98, PACT98, Broadband Comm. 98,
ECMAST 97, WATM 95.
I have also reviewed papers for Computer Networks, Computer
Communications, Journal of Network and Computer Applications, IEEE
Trans. Networking. Projects

PhD
courses and Master CANS (Computer Architecture, Networks and Systems)
I have participated giving two PhD courses from 2000 to 2006.

At the department we have begun a Master (research oriented) called CANS that
substitutes the PhD courses.
I participate in the course (courses 2006-07 and 2007-08):
Wireless LAN, Ad Hoc and Sensor
Networks
I have been Master CANS Academic responsible from May 2005 to july 2007
and Doctorate Program responsible of the "Computer Architecture"
Department PhD Program from May 2005 to May 2008.

courses
Plan 91
CBXC:
Conceptes Basics de Xarxes de
Computadors
In this location you can find
information about CBXC
(sorry this page is in spanish), a course on computer networks
given at
the Informatic Faculaty (UPC). CBXC is a 3th course subject and the
first subject about networks given in this degree. In CBXC students
learn about transmission data, LAN technologies (mainly Ethernet) and
WAN access. After this course, students may study STD in which they
learn about Internet protocols.
STD: Serveis de transport de dades
In this location you can find
information about STD
(sorry
this page is in spanish), a course on TCP/IP given at the Informatic
Faculaty (UPC). STD is a 4th course subject and the first subject about
TCP/IP
given in this degree. Slides (Transparencias de STD grupo 10):
A white paper (3com) in pdf about IPv4
addressing that can help students to understand CIDR, subnetting, VLMS
In this location you can find information about XC (sorry
this page is in spanish), an obligatori course on computer Networks
that substitutes CBXC and STD given at the Informatic
Faculaty (UPC). XC is a 4th course subject and the first subject about
TCP/IP
given in this degree. The course is mainly center in 3 big areas: LANs
(Ethernet and IEEE 802.11), IP and TCP protocols.
Some slides (transpas) about IP (vienen de STD, pueden ayudaros
en XC pero no representan el temario actual de XC que no imparto desde
el año 2005): IP basics, routing,dns,
vlans, nat
PIAM:
Protocolos de Internet and
Aplicaciones Multimedia
In this location you can find information about PIAM
(sorry
this page is in spanish), an optative course given at the Informatic
Faculaty (UPC). PIAM is a course which intensifies networking concepts.
The course is divided
in 3 parts: Routing, Mobility and QoS
