Personal profile
ShortBio
Industrial Engineer from the University of Navarra (Tecnun), has worked at Fatronik since 1999 and at Tecnalia since 2011. She started working initially as a researcher and currently as director of research projects in the field of Advanced Manufacturing. She has extensive experience in managing national and international projects throughout her life cycle: offering, specifications, design, manufacturing and testing. She is the leader of international and multidisciplinary teams specialized in industrial robotics (especially cable-driven robotics) in which the prototypes of COGIRO, CRANEBOT, HEPHAESTUS and MAELSTROM cable robots have been developed. Interlocution with the different stakeholders: client, supplier, consortium, administration, users.
Extensive experience in preparing R&D offers and proposals at regional, national and European level. External advisor for the European Commission as proposals reviewer on projects since 2016 (H2020 and currently in Horizon Europe).
Co-inventor of 6 patents, 2 of them transferred to companies that are exploiting them commercially. She has participated in technology transfer negotiation agreements.
