معرفی
Jon Legarda Macon serves as a Lecturer and researcher at the University of Deusto's Faculty of Engineering within the Department of Computing, Electronics and Communication Technologies. Holding a PhD in Engineering from the University of Navarra (2004), he leads research initiatives focused on industrial communication technologies and sustainable systems.
His research spans communication technologies, electronics, and IoT systems with specialization in energy harvesting, data spaces, and environmental impact reduction. Current work emphasizes data spaces applied to improving environmental and social impacts across industrial, energy, and governance environments, with significant contributions to textile antennas, RF energy harvesting, and sustainable supply chain solutions.
His publication portfolio shows strong emphasis on wireless communication systems (35%), energy harvesting technologies (25%), and sustainable applications (20%), with recent work pivoting toward blockchain applications in energy markets and computational intelligence for agrifood systems.
Dr. Legarda has supervised 10 doctoral theses across topics including textile rectennas, energy harvesting optimization, and wireless sensor networks. His research is supported by numerous competitive grants including EU Horizon projects (PARITY, FOODRUS), Spanish national programs, and regional Basque initiatives totaling over €15 million in funding since 2012.
He actively contributes to the Deusto Sustainable Research Group and leads multiple industrial collaborations through projects like URETIK (energy-efficient greenhouse platforms) and SIONIA (real-time bird identification systems), focusing on practical implementations of sustainable IoT solutions.
