Jesus Alonso Zarate

I am the Director of R&D at the i2CAT Foundation, a CERCA research and innovation center based in Barcelona, and a member of the management team. I lead the strategic coordination and management of i2CAT’s 8 research groups.

Since March 2023, I have been a member of the Governing Board of the 6G-IA (6G Industry Association) and of the Governing Board of the One6G Association.

Before joining i2CAT, I spent 16 years as a researcher in wireless communications, 5G and IoT, leading a research team. I have participated in more than 40 competitive projects and co-authored over 180 scientific publications. In 2019, I received the Agustín de Betancourt y Molina Award from the Spanish Royal Academy of Engineering for my professional career.
