I was born in Barcelona, Spain, in December 1961.
In 1980 I finished my professional studies on Industrial Electronics.
From March 1978 until April 1984 I was working in Kopa Electronica Company, assembling digital equipment for industrial control and audio circuits.
I worked from April 1984 until March 1986 in the Electrophysics Lab of the E. T. S. E. Telecomunicació de Barcelona. I collaborated in the set up of an anechoic chamber and design of a digital control of stepper motors for near-field antenna measurement. I also collaborated in making pcb masks of microwave circuits and mounting microstrip circuits.

In 1986 I started working in the Electronic Engineering Dpt. of the UPC, developing my main job in the Instrumentation and Bioengineering Lab. In 1989 I promoted to Technical Engineer until now.
