He is a Mechanical and Electrical Engineer from UNAM. He is also a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences, and the Mexican Academy of Engineering. He is a Senior Member at IEEE, as well as an associate editor of IEEE ACCESS and the International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks. He was also a Distinguished Professor of the IEEE Communications Society from 2021 to 2023, has been President of the Monterrey Chapter of the IEEE Communications Society, President of the IEEE Monterrey Section, as well as the Faculty Advisor of the IEEE-HKN Lambda-Rho Honors Chapter of Tecnológico de Monterrey. He is co-author of the books Position Location Techniques and Applications, Academic Press/Elsevier, and Radio Wave Propagation in Vehicular Environments, IET. His research interests include 6G, cognitive radio, millimeter wave propagation, massive MIMO systems, intelligent algorithms, quantum machine learning, intrusion/anomaly detection, localization, network and channel encoding, cybersecurity automation and quantum computing. He has more than 150 scientific publications and more than 100 graduate theses advised.
César Vargas Rosales specialized in communications and signal processing, a discipline based on mathematics and stochastic processes that allow its application in different areas such as radars, tracking, communications networks, propagation analysis, and sound system design, among others. The versatility of signal processing fascinates him, especially since knowledge evolves and this specialty is the foundation of other current studies: machine learning, deep learning, Bayesian decision theory, big data, data analytics, and neural networks.
His studies enable his movement within research lines among communications. For instance, he can analyze cyber-attacks by using signal processing and information theory tools, develop localization algorithms for sensor networks or drones through geometry, or apply Maxwell¿s equations to study signal propagation on different frequency bands.
