Alfredo Gardel Vicente is a Full Professor in the Department of Electronics at the University of Alcalá. His primary research focuses on electronic engineering applied to intelligent spaces and transport, particularly in the GEINTRA research group. He holds a Doctorate from the University of Alcalá with a thesis on camera calibration in 2004, supervised by Dr. José Luis Lázaro Galilea and Dr. Jean-Marc Lavest. His research interests include visible light communication systems, indoor positioning using PSD sensors, FPGA-based remote laboratories, smart energy communities, and biomedical engineering applications. He has extensively published on topics such as vehicular VLC systems, edge computing for video surveillance, and cooperative demand response frameworks in smart grids. His work bridges hardware design and software solutions, emphasizing practical applications in intelligent transportation, healthcare, and education. Notable contributions include frameworks for STEM remote laboratories and algorithms for optimizing insulin delivery systems using low-power SoCs. Prof. Gardel Vicente actively explores interdisciplinary areas like forensic analysis of embedded systems and event-based sensing for cyber-physical systems. His research often integrates real-world testbeds to validate solutions in energy efficiency, positioning accuracy, and sensor networks.
