Pau Baguer i Fabrega
A passionate researcher currently pursuing an MS in Artificial Intelligence at UPC, with a strong background in Artificial Intelligence, Aerospace Systems Engineering, and Network Engineering. My specialized expertise lies in the integration of intelligent systems into Open RAN and UAV systems , with hands-on work experience at research institutions like I2CAT and UPC.

In my current role as a Junior Researcher at I2CAT (AlS) for over 3 years, my main responsibilities include developing an indoor localization system within the O-RAN architecture, leveraging smart surfaces, and conducting research on the optimization of Open 5G/6G networks to enable BVLOS UAV operations. I have also performed security analysis of O-RAN deployments against threats like DoS. My contributions include a notable publication, "Attacking O-RAN interfaces: threat modeling, analysis, and practical experimentation".
