Dr. Rodriguez has developed his research in areas such as Smart Sensor networks and FPGA electronic designs that apply to image processing, high-scientific computation algorithms, and electrical mobility. He has given talks at many national and international conferences. He has held the following administrative positions: Electronic Vice Dean at the School of Physics at Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) (2000–2005); Program Committee Member of the Conference on Reconfigurable Computing and Applications (JCRA); Program Committee Member of Technologies Applied to Electronics Teaching (TAEE) (Jan. 2011–now); Chairman of the Conference on Reconfigurable Computing and Applications (JCRA) at ULL; and Chairman of TAEE 2018. He has participated in the last five years in many research contract projects and research contracts. Currently, he is the principal investigator of the project for the study and analysis of the activity of ships providing services in Canarias ports, funded by the Government of the Canary Islands. As a hypothesis for this project, he believes that many maritime transport services carried out in any port are susceptible to being electrified, particularly those carried out by pilots when berthing ships. Also, he is working on a prototype/demonstrator that consists of converting a pilot vessel to 100% electric.
