Rodrigo Gutiérrez Moreno

Postdoctoral Researcher at RobeSafe

I am Rodrigo Gutiérrez Moreno, and I received my BSc degree in Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering from the University of Alcalá (2012-2017) and my MSc in Automation and Robotics from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (2017-2019). I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 2024 from the University of Alcalá, Alcalá de Henares, Spain. I am a member of the RobeSafe research group. My research interests include robotics and control, autonomous driving techniques, decision-making algorithms, artificial intelligence, and sim2real methodologies. I have authored more than 20 publications in international journals and conference proceedings.
