Dr Lexa Nescolarde is currently an Associate Professor at UPC and, since January 2001, member of the Electronic and Biomedical Instrumentation Group (IEB) as well as the Biomedical Research Center (CREB-UPC). Dr Nescolarde’s current research interests are focused on the use of non-invasive localized bioimpedance measurement (L-BIA) for muscle assessment in high performance athletes, body composition analysis and data analysis. Since 2004 and to date, Dr. Nescolarde has published 29 articles in journals indexed in JCR, 9 of which are in Q1, 15 in Q2 and 5 in Q3. She has also participated in 22 research projects and has led 6 research and technology transfer contracts of special relevance; 2 of which are still valid. In addition, in the last 10 years he has supervised 4 doctoral theses, all of them presented and evaluated. Dr. Nescolarde worked as a researcher in the Bioimpedance Group of the Bioengineering Department at the National Research Centre of Electromagnetism Applied (CNEA) in Santiago de Cuba between 1994 and 2001. During that time, she worked as a professor for the Physics Department in the Faculty of Natural Sciences of Universidad de Oriente, Santiago de Cuba. In September 2008, Dr. Nescolarde started a new position as an Associate Professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering at UPC.
