Dr. Eduardo Castelló is an Assistant Professor at IE and is an affiliated researcher at MIT (USA). For over a decade, he has specialized in robotics systems and their interconnections with network technology. He has worked on a wide variety of international projects in Japan, Europe, and the United States, together with world-renowned academics such as Prof. Alex (‘Sandy’) Pentland and Prof. Hiroshi Ishiguro. Dr. Castelló received his B.Sc. in intelligent systems from the University of Portsmouth (UK) and his M.Eng. and Ph.D. in robotics engineering from Osaka University (Japan). He has been affiliated with MIT (USA) since 2016 and was previously a Marie Curie Fellow at the MIT Media Lab, exploring the combination of autonomous systems and blockchain-based technology. His current research focuses on implementing new security, behavior, and economic models for networked groups of autonomous agents using novel cryptographic methods. Dr. Castelló has also written for leading general-audience publications (El País and El Mundo) and has published his robotics research in leading scientific journals (Science Robotics and IEEE Transactions on Robotics) and high-impact robotics conferences (IROS, ICRA, and AAMAS).
