Xavier Casas Moreno

I hold a PhD in Engineering Physics from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in 2023, a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from KTH in 2018, and a Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in 2016.

My research journey started with my Bachelor’s thesis, conducted within the research group of Prof. Paolo Monti at KTH, Sweden, under an Erasmus+ program. There, I worked on a 5G project focusing on software-defined networking. Later, I was a summer fellow at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) in Barcelona. I worked in hardware and software development for an optical device that monitored blood flow in clinical patients. During my Master’s degree, I collaborated with Prof. Joakim Jaldén at KTH on the design of an electronic platform for teaching digital signal processing using Arduino.

My PhD research focused on the field of super-resolution microscopy in the laboratory of Prof. Ilaria Testa at SciLifeLab and KTH, where I also did my Master’s thesis. I worked on an optical system to increase the throughput of traditional methods, and I developed ImSwitch, an open-source software for microscope control and automation. Motivated by software architecture design and hardware integration, I then started a postdoc at the Workflows and Distributed Computing group in July 2023. I now work on COLMENA, a framework for defining and deploying swarm computing applications in the Cloud-Edge-IoT Continuum.
