Dr Pedro Plaza
PhD in Industrial Engineering and expert in electronic systems. I also have an official master’s degree from the UNED. I have extensive experience in working with FPGAs. I apply this knowledge and other skills in the design of electronic systems for railway traffic control as a Systems Engineering Professional in the R&D department of Siemens Mobility España. I am a member of the IEEE since 2011, contributing, among other things, as coordinator of the Robotics Group of the student branch of the UNED of the IEEE and through workshops to disseminate technological knowledge. Throughout these years I have learned that the basis of a good working relationship is professionalism, respect and honesty. I value sincerity, commitment and initiative. I am always willing to participate in a project in which I can add value and which allows me to grow professionally and personally.
