Jesús Lázaro received the M.Sc. degree in Telecommunication Engineering, and the Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering (BME), from the University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR) (Zaragoza, Spain) in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Then, he developed his Ph.D. in the same university, in the field of biomedical signal processing for quantification of cardiovascular and respiratory systems. During his Ph.D, he visited the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (Worcester, MA, USA) for 3 months. He obtained the Ph.D degree with honor mentions “Cum Laude” and “International Doctor” from UNIZAR in July 2015. He is coauthor of 27 JCR articles and more than 40 international conference proceedings. Among the JCR articles, 17 are published in Q1 journals, 22 of them are published during his postdoctoral period, 17 of them have international co-authors, and 7 of them have co-authors who are Medicine Doctors. He has done transfer of knowledge research, including the participation in R&D contracts with private companies (even as Principal Investigator), and the participation in an ITEA3 project (eWatch), which is a transnational and industry-driven R&D&I programme of the intergovernmental (over 40 countries) network EUREKA. He is also inventor of 1 patent. He has been invited as speaker to some workshops (see C.5), including the IEEE International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks (BSN2017). He has been awarded with some research prizes, including the Nightingale prize.
His postdoctoral training began at Aragón Institute of Engineering Research (I3A) of UNIZAR (July 2015 - December 2016), where he worked as Junior Postdoctoral Researcher in different applications of the methods that he developed during his Ph.D.
Then, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering of KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium, where he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher (January 2017–October 2017) in biomedical signal processing in different scenarios, including wearable devices.
He was granted with a European Union’s H2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie actions (MSCA) Individual Fellowship – Global Fellowship, for developing a project entitled “Wearable Cardiorespiratory Monitor (WECARMON)” whose objective is to develop a wearable device for monitoring patients with different cardiorespiratory diseases. This project includes a 24-months phase at University of Connecticut (UCONN) (Storrs CT, USA) followed by a 12-months phase at UNIZAR. Thus, he joined the Department of BME of UCONN (October 2017–October 2019), and subsequently he joined the I3A of UNIZAR (November 2019–December 2020). Then, he joined the DIIS of UNIZAR as Assistant Professor (Profesor Ayudante Doctor). He has active collaborations with other institutions including UCONN and KU Leuven. His current research interests include the development of signal processing techniques for diagnosing and/or monitoring cardiorespiratory patients, aiming to a more personalized treatment and an improved prognosis, with its both social and economic advantages.
In addition to his research, he has had some teaching responsibilities at different institutions (UNIZAR, KU Leuven, and UCONN). He obtained the certification for “Profesor Ayudante Doctor” (Assistant Professor, in 2016), “Profesor Contratado Doctor” (Associate Professor, in 2020), and “Profesor de Universidad Privada” (Associate Professor for Private University, in 2020) by the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation of Spain (ANECA).
