I have also taught parts of the subjects computer networks and applications, computer applications and open systems client/server computing.

My current research interests are parallel architectures, design and evaluation of interconnection networks for message passing and shared memory multicomputers, mobile and real-time networks.

Information about me - Personal

I met my husband Guy at my home town during the "Sanfermines" where he went to run in front of the bulls.

Guy and I, our sons Ramon and Pablo and Punto the boxer live in Sempahore under the roof of an old villa in constant renovation. So life in never dull.
