Profile

I received my MSc in Electrical Engineering from the University of Navarra, Spain in 2006 and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Delaware, Newark, DE in 2011. I am currently a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering at 91Ö±²¥, and a Visiting Research Collaborator in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University, NJ.

In 2010-2011 I was a Research Intern at Bell Laboratories, Alcatel-Lucent, Holmdel, NJ, and in 2011-2013 I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Princeton University. My research interests include information theory and communication theory with an emphasis on the application to electricity grid problems.

Research interests

I am interested in understanding the role of information in monitoring, communication, and decision making systems. My research lies broadly in:

  • Information theory and data science
  • Machine learning and high-dimensional statistics
  • Cybersecurity
    • Detection and mitigation of data integrity attacks
    • Privacy and confidentiality
  • Information processes on cyberphysical systems
    • Robust estimation with imperfect information
    • Optimal sensor placement problems
