Ignacio Bravo Muñoz

Ignacio Bravo Muñoz is a Professor at the Department of Electronics, Universidad de Alcalá (Spain), affiliated with the GEINTRA research group focusing on Electronic Engineering applications in Intelligent Spaces and Transport. He holds a PhD from Universidad de Alcalá (2007) with a thesis on FPGA-based object detection using computational vision and PCA techniques.

His research spans indoor positioning systems (using LED/PSD sensors), sustainable energy frameworks for smart communities, FPGA-based hardware design, and remote laboratory platforms. Key contributions include real-time metrology for ESA's PLATO mission, cooperative demand response algorithms, and innovative pedagogical approaches integrating sustainability into digital electronics education.

Recent work emphasizes edge computing for video surveillance, machine learning in human action recognition, and non-cooperative target identification using radar signatures. His interdisciplinary projects bridge electronics engineering with energy systems, biomedical applications, and educational technology.

He actively collaborates with industry and academic institutions on EU-funded projects, contributing to advancements in aerospace instrumentation (PLATO FPA qualification), smart grid technologies, and STEM education innovation.
