Bio
Rafael Montalbán-Gutiérrez was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1986. He received the M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering in 2009 from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). From 2007 to 2014, he was as a research assistant within the SPCOMNAV group, involved in topics of GPS signal re-acquisition, robust distributed beamforming techniques and pursuing the PhD in OFDM signal design for joint communications and positioning.Research interests
His research interests are in statistical signal processing, digital communications, synchronization techniques and packet-level forward error correction (PL-FEC) codes.Recent publications
