Alejandro Laguna Sanz

Alejandro Laguna Sanz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electronic Engineering at the School of Engineering, Universitat de València. His work bridges biomedical engineering and clinical diabetes care, focusing on technological solutions for glucose regulation.

His research interests include diabetes technology, artificial pancreas systems, glucose monitoring accuracy, and the impact of exercise on glycemic control. He is particularly active in developing and evaluating predictive algorithms for glycemic management, especially in dynamic conditions such as physical activity and post-bariatric hypoglycemia. His work often combines control theory with clinical validation.

The recent publications reveal a strong focus on real-world performance of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), sex-specific responses in women with type 1 diabetes, and innovative interventions like elastic band resistance training and dual-hormone closed-loop systems. His research increasingly integrates population modeling, in silico studies, and virtual education platforms for artificial pancreas training.

He is a member of the CLIDET research group (Clinimetry and Technological Development in Therapeutic Exercise), where he contributes to the design and clinical evaluation of advanced monitoring and control systems for metabolic diseases.

Alejandro Laguna Sanz earned his PhD from Universitat Politècnica de València with a thesis on uncertainty in postprandial glucose modeling in type 1 diabetes, supervised by Dr. Paolo Rosseti and Dr. Jorge Bondía Company. He has not received any explicitly listed scientific awards in the provided text.

He advises students within his research group, though no specific names are listed. His work is supported by collaborative projects in diabetes technology and engineering, particularly in the development of adaptive control systems and clinical validation of glucose monitoring devices. He is involved in both experimental and simulation-based studies.
