Profile

Jordi Salazar was born in Barcelona (Spain) in 1967. He received the Telecommunication Engineer and Ph. D. degrees in Electronics from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) in 1991 and 1997 respectively. In 1993 he joined the Department of Electronic Engineering, UPC, in the Sensor Systems Group, first as a full time associate lecturer and since 1998 in tenured position as an Associate Professor. His current activity is centred on ultrasonic short pulse generation, inverse problems, non-destructive testing and ultrasonic food processing.
