Dr. Daniel Calabuig received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in telecommunications from Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), Valencia, Spain, in 2005 and 2010, respectively. In 2005, he joined Instituto de Telecomunicaciones y Aplicaciones Multimedia (iTEAM), UPV. During the Ph.D. degree, he participated in some European projects and activities, such as NEWCOM, COST2100, and ICARUS, where he was working on radio resource management in heterogeneous wireless systems and Hopfield neural network optimization. In 2010, he received the Marie Curie Fellowship from the European Commission to research cooperative multipoint transmissions. He visited the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, from 2010 to 2012. In 2012, he returned to the iTEAM and worked with the European projects Mobile and wireless communications Enablers for the Twenty-twenty Information Society (METIS), METIS-II, and 5G for Connected and Automated Road Mobility in the European Union (5G-CARMEN). He is currently an Associate Professor with the Communications Department of the UPV.
Dr. Sandra Roger is an Associate Professor at the Computer Science Department of the Universitat de València, Burjassot, Spain. In 2009 and 2010, she was a Guest Researcher at the Institute of Telecommunications of the Vienna University of Technology (Vienna, Austria), where she worked on several topics related to MIMO wireless communications. From 2012 to 2018, as a Senior Researcher at the Mobile Communications group of the Institute of Telecommunications and Multimedia Applications (iTEAM-UPV), she was involved in high-relevance EU projects such as METIS (Mobile and Wireless Communications Enablers for the Twenty-Twenty Information Society) and METIS-II, and research contracts with companies like Nokia Bell-Labs (Stuttgart) and Huawei GRC (Munich). In 2016, her research group was awarded a Merit Medal to young researchers by the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering. Between 2019 and 2023, she was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Universitat de València. In 2022, she performed a three-month research stay at the IoT Lab of Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy) to collaborate on V2X communications topics. Her main research interests are MIMO wireless systems,
5G/6G, and vehicular communications.
Prof. Dr. Jose F. Monserrat is full professor and Vice President of the Universitat Politècnica de València, the first technical university in Spain. His research focuses on the design of future beyond 5G wireless systems and their performance assessment. He has been involved in several European Projects, like METIS/METIS-II, where he led the simulation activities, or currently 5G-CARMEN and 5G-SMART. He co-edited the Wiley book “Mobile and wireless communications for IMT-Advanced and beyond” and the
Cambridge book “5G Mobile and Wireless Communications Technology”. Jose Monserrat is senior member of the IEEE and has published more than 100 journal papers. Currently, the group headed by Prof. Jose F. Monserrat consists of 4 Postdoctoral fellows, 8 Ph.D. students, and 2 Master's students. Prof. Monserrat has been an advisor of the European Parliament and the World Bank and was selected by the USA Department of State in 2024 for the International Visitor Leadership Programme.
