Jesús Lázaro received the Ph.D degree with honor mentions Cum Laude and International Doctor from University of Zaragoza (UNIZAR) in July 2015. He is coauthor of 37 indexed articles and around 50 international conference proceedings. Among the indexed articles, 25 are published in Q1 journals, 25 of them have international co-authors, and 12 of them have co-authors who are Medicine Doctors. He has been invited as speaker to some workshops, including the IEEE International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks. He was awarded with the Nightingale prize to the best scientific paper published in the journal Med Biol Eng Comput in 2013 (by Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine, and International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering); the Gary and Bill Sanders Award to the best poster presentation at the 2011 international annual conference of Computing in Cardiology; and ASISA Finalist Award to the best Barchelor Thesis in engineering and medicine in 2011 (by the Spanish College of Telecommunication Engineers). His research career has been recognized with 1 six-year-terms or research by the Comisión Nacional Evaluadora de la Actividad Investigadora (CNEAI).
His postdoctoral training began at Aragón Institute of Engineering Research (I3A) of UNIZAR (07/2015–12/2016), as Postdoctoral Researcher in different applications of the methods that he developed during his Ph.D. Then, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering of KU Leuven, Belgium, as Postdoctoral Researcher (01/2017–10/2017) in biomedical signal processing in different scenarios, including wearable devices and sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. He was granted with a European Unions Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship Global Fellowship, for developing a project entitled Wearable Cardiorespiratory Monitor (WECARMON) whose objective was to develop a wearable device for monitoring patients with different cardiorespiratory diseases. WECARMON included a 24-months phase at University of Connecticut (UCONN) (Storrs CT, USA) followed by a 12-months phase at UNIZAR. Thus, he joined the Department of Biomedical Engineering of UCONN (10/2017–10/2019), and subsequently he joined the I3A of UNIZAR (11/2019–12/2020). Then, he joined the DIIS of UNIZAR at EUPT as Assistant Professor. He is also member of the Spanish Excellence Network of Biomedical Research Centers in the field of Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine (CIBER-BBN), where he leads an intramural project in “Respiratory Diseases” titled “Non invasive assessment of Autonomic Nervous System in intensive care units” since March 2022.
He has done very relevant contributions to the field of biomedical signal processing, including several articles that are receiving more than 10 cites/year. He is an Associate Editor of Frontiers in Physiology. He has participated in several research projects, some of them as PI (including one national project). The contributions of J. Lázaro to the state of the art on wearable biomedical signal processing attracted the attention of some private companies interested on wearable devices, leading to his participation in R&D contracts with private companies (even as PI). He is also inventor of 1 patent. He is currently supervising a Ph.D. Thesis (defense expected for 2024), and has supervised 2 Master Thesis, 8 Bachelor Thesis, the internships 2 international students (6 ECTS each one), and of 1 national student (11 ECTS).
