Biography

Matias Carandell was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1991. He received a B.Sc. and a M.S. in Industrial Engineering from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), with the specialty of electrical engineering, in 2015. After that, he spent one year at Universidad Técnica Federica Santa Maria (UTFSM, Chile), working with solar power converters. He obtained the Ph.D. in 2022 in Electronic Engineering at the Remote Acquisition Systems and Data Processing (SARTI) research group, UPC. His current research interests include energy harvesting in marine environment, energy conditioning systems for autonomous sensors and autonomy concerning Lagrangian Drifter electronics.
