You can download most of my publications from our institutional library repository (use "Alonso-Fernandez" as search term)

Some of my papers have emerged from the work of bachelor/master students (as part of their thesis). On several occasions, the thesis is done in cooperation with external companies. Having publications from such enthusiastic and motivated very young students' work is something that makes me proud as a researcher/teacher, and I think that the work of such students deserves a special section. Congratulations to all of them:
