Juan Carlos Burguillo-Rial is a Full Professor at the Department of Telematic Engineering from the University of Vigo, and a research staff member of the atlanTTic Research Center. He became Telecommunication Engineer in 1995 and a Ph.D. in Telematics in 2001 from the University of Vigo.
Regarding the academic context, since October 1.996 he has been a professor and researcher at the Telecommunication Engineering School (EET), in the University of Vigo, under several positions: assistant professor, from October 1996 to November de 2001; lecturer, from November 2001 to August 2003; associate professor, since August 2001 to July 2022; and Full Professor since August 2022.
Regarding the teaching context, he has taught several pre-grade courses in subjects like Computing Architectures, Telematic Services, and Programming Paradigms. He has supervised more than 100 Bachelor and Máster theses. He also has taught several courses for post-grade and doctoral students concerning topics like Internet Security and Artificial Intelligence applied to Telematic Systems and Mobile Networks. He has also taught several courses and seminars at international institutions about these topics in Europe and in America.
Concerning management, from July 2004 to December 2006 he was the quality advisor, and from November 2005 to February 2009 vice-dean for international relations, both positions at the EET.
