David Pubill (Lleida, 1980) obtained his degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) in July 2006.
Before joining the Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC), he worked at the Centre de Telecomunicacions i Tecnologies de la Informació de la Generalitat de Catalunya (CTiTI), where he designed radiating systems for TV, radio, Wi-Fi, and WiMAX. He also participated in frequency planning and interference studies for these technologies within the Catalan radio spectrum.
In August 2006, he joined CTTC as a Research Engineer in the Access Technologies area, where he worked on industrial contracts (Wi4GOAL), as well as national (WIMSAT) and international (BunGee) WiMAX-funded projects. Later, he became a member of the Engineering Unit, specializing in ranging techniques for Wi-Fi systems (C2CP, H4WP industrial contracts) and contributing to the development of an open-source GNSS-SDR receiver as part of the ARTEMISA project. He then moved to the Smart Energy Efficient Communication Technologies (SMARTECH) department within the Communication Technologies Division (CTD), where he participated in various national and European-funded projects, including E2SG, COPCAMS, ESEE, IoSENSE, CONNECT, SEMIOTICS, 5G-SOLUTIONS, and 5G-ROUTES.
David served as the coordinator of the IoTWORLD testbed from 2015 to 2021. He has co-received several awards, including the Best Demo Award at the IEEE CAMAD 2018 conference, the ENIAC JU 2015 Innovation Award for the E2SG project, and second prize at the ENF’15 exhibition award.
Since 2022, he has been part of the Geomatics Research Unit at CTTC, focusing on satellite remote sensing activities and is a member of the Consolidated Research Group (Ref. 2021-SGR-00536). He is also involved in the Sen2rice project.
David has authored several scientific publications presented at national and international conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the Marine Sciences program at UPC’s School of Civil Engineering, with research focused on developing models to assess the water quality of the Ebro Delta lagoons using remote sensing techniques.
