Assistant Professor of Electronics Engineering
University of Seville & IMSE-CNM-CSIC
I work on wearable bioimpedance devices for monitoring heart-failure patients. My main project is VOLUM, a wearable that estimates fluid build-up in the legs. I teach microcontrollers and biomedical instrumentation, and publish a free course on MSP430 assembly.
