Gabriela Cáceres

I am focused on automation and control, specializing in developing advanced controllers using the Internet of Things (IoT) for data acquisition. I actively participate in international and national projects in I+D+i, collaborating with interdisciplinary teams. In addition to my technical expertise, I have gained five years of experience in grant writing, networking, and project management.
