Brief CV and current research

César Caballero (born Zaragoza, Spain, 1978) received BSc. and MSc. Degrees in Telecommunications Engineering, with emphasis in signal processing and communications systems, from the University of Zaragoza.

He has worked as a research assistant at the Institute of Communications Engineering at Tampere University of Technology (Finland). There, he participated actively in several Finnish-funded projects, collaborating with SATEL OY and Nokia Mobiles. The aim of his research was to apply signal processing algorithms to software radios, specifically for the design of digital frequency synthesizers.

Afterwards, he joined the Communications Technology Group of the Department of Electronics and Communications (DIEC) at the University of Zaragoza. He carried out postgraduate studies in advanced signal processing techniques for communications systems. During two years, he was a junior lecturer for several undergraduate courses at DIEC in Digital Communication Systems and Advanced Techniques for Digital Communication Receivers.

In September 2006, he became a Marie Curie Fellow in Medical Image Analysis at the University of Nottingham. The aim of his research is to shed light on the relationship between the neural activity and the BOLD response, and consequently improve the modeling of the hemodynamic response observed in single-trial fMRI experiments. With that goal in mind, he is looking at the theory of inverse problems and reconstruction. He is especially interested in the combination of compressed sensing (CS) and fMRI data analysis. Other interests are biomedical applications of beamforming, MRI reconstruction and parallel imaging, which can greatly benefit from CS techniques and spatio-temporal coding.

Supervision

He is actively collaborating with the Sir Peter Mansfield Magnetic Resonance Centre in several research projects, in collaboration with Prof. Penny Gowland, Prof. Susan Francis and Dr. Natalia Petridou. In addition, he also collaborates with Prof. Ian Dryden at the Division of Statistics of the School of Mathematical Sciences and Dr. Jon Garibaldi in IMA group.
