Short Bio

Eduardo Montijano is an Associate Professor in the Departamento de Informática e Ingeniería de Sistemas at Universidad de Zaragoza in Spain. He received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain, in 2008 and 2012 respectively. He was a faculty member at Centro Universitario de la Defensa, Zaragoza, between 2012 and 2016. His research interests are in the field of distributed algorithms applied to cooperative control and perception of multi-robot systems. His Ph.D. obtained the extraordinary award of the Universidad de Zaragoza in the 2012-2013 academic year.

Full CV

Research

I am mostly interested in developing control solutions for teams of robots where perception plays a key role in the design process.
