His research interests are focused on the IoT, machine-learning applied, digital twins, as well as paradigms such as Fog and Edge Computing. Previously he has been working in several technology companies on RFID technology and software development. He has several papers at international conferences and multiple publications in JCR-indexed journals, of which two of them have more than 800 citations, one received the best paper award in JNCA in 2017, and another publication was selected as Spring 2022 Editor Choice paper in FGCS. His research is highly cited, with more than 3000 citations on Google Scholar. He is the coordinating the European MSCA Staff Exchange project EVOLVE and Principal Investigator of the Spanish project DiTas (Proyectos de Generación de Conocimiento 2022 call). He has also participated in more than 20 research projects and contracts with companies. He has carried out four international stays, one at the University of Ghent, Belgium (2016, pre-doctoral), two at the IHP research institute, Frankfurt Oder, Germany (2020-2021, post-doctoral), and the last one in Incheon, Korea (2022). He is the author of the Kafka-ML framework and one of the authors of OpenTwins. He is co-supervising 3 doctoral theses, and has supervised more than 20 bachelor/master theses.
