Francisco Cabrera has more than 25 years of academic and research experience at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (Spain). He is currently an Assistant Professor with the Signal and Communications Department and member of the Institute for Technological Development and Innovation in Communications (IDeTIC), ULPGC. He has been coordinator of the Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering (MUIT) since 2019 and he has actively participated in more than 40 public projects and 20 projects with companies. His research activity initially focuses on the area of electromagnetism within the field of numerical models for antennas and radiowave propagation and numerical parallelisation techniques. He also collaborates on projects related to the modelling, simulation and development of acquisition systems using marine sensors installed on oceanographic buoys. He is a researcher on several Spanish national projects and European projects. Then, he started a new line of work in fire detection and tracking through local, national, and European projects within the Interreg-MAC programme. Next, it began to develop applications embedded in light multicopters (UAV), which interact with the aircraft's control unit, as well as the ship tracking line using the AIS system. These lines provide experience in protocols such as MaVLink and NMEA, which also enable projects to be carried out with companies in the sector. It also conducts research into the new VDES.
