Sandra Catalán, PhD.

Sandra Catalán is a Computer Engineer and obtained her Ph.D. in the same discipline at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI). She is currently a Ramón y Cajal postdoctoral researcher in the High Performance Computing and Architectures group of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.

Sandra has developed her postdoctoral research at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), participating in the Fujitsu-BSC project: Porting and Optimization of Math Libraries, and at the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM). Moreover, she has worked on different projects at the regional, national and European levels. Her research focuses on energy saving in moderate-scale clusters and low-power processors, parallel algorithms and libraries for linear algebra, and asymmetric architectures. The research stays that she has carried out in other centers such as the BSC, The University of Texas at Austin, and IBM Research Zurich have allowed her to delve into these fields.

Regarding teaching, she has taught, at the UJI and the UCM,  in several degrees (Computer Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Design and Development of Videogames, Rural Food and Agriculture Engineering, and Electrical Engineering, among others) and master's degree (Teacher Training for Secondary Education, Vocational Education, and Language Teaching). Moreover, she has participated in educational innovation projects, as well as in permanent educational innovation seminars.
