Roberto Sarmiento Rodríguez

Roberto Sarmiento Rodríguez is a University Professor at the Department of Electronic and Automatic Engineering within the IU of Applied Microelectronics at the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. His work focuses on integrated electronic systems for data processing and hyperspectral imaging technologies.

• Current affiliation: Department of Electronic and Automatic Engineering (University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria)
• Research group: GIR IUMA - Design of Integrated Electronic Systems for Data Processing

Research interests revolve around Electronic Engineering, FPGA Design, and Data Compression techniques applied to satellite systems. His group has developed hardware accelerators for CCSDS standards (121.0-B-3, 123.0-B-2) and explored GPU-based optimization for hyperspectral image processing.

Advising Highlights: Supervised 21 final degree and master's projects (2013-2025) on topics including:

• RISC-V hardware compression accelerators
• CABAC entropy encoding for satellites
• H.264/AVC decoder modules
• GPU-accelerated spectral unmixing
• Calorimetric sensor design

Technical Collaborations include partnerships with:

• Xilinx (Zynq FPGA platforms)
• CCSDS standards implementation
• Medical imaging systems development
