Antonio Pérez Yuste (21 June 1968) is a professor of Telecommunications Engineering at Technical University of Madrid, Spain (Spanish: Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, UPM). He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), an appointed member to the IEEE Spain Section Executive Committee, and a Correspondent Member to the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts of Barcelona (Spain).

## Biography

Yuste was born in Toledo, Spain. He joined the Department of Communications and Audio & Video Engineering at Technical University of Madrid as an assistant professor in 1991, where he carried out research on Digital Communication Systems. In 1995, he changed his position to associate professor, being involved with Numerical Methods Applied to Electromagnetic Field problems. And, in 2008, he was finally promoted to a tenured professor position in the same university.

Since joining the Technical University of Madrid, he has held some different academic positions: he was vice director of the Technical University of Madrid's School of Telecommunications from 1997 to 2001, director of that school from 2001 to 2004, and director of the Technical University of Madrid President's Cabinet from 2004 to 2012. From September 2012 to February 2014, he was appointed as the UPM Sino-Spanish Campus Director to Shanghai (China), being in charge of setting up and starting the first delegation office of UPM out of Spain. From March to July 2014 he was in charge of the UPM Sino-Spanish Cooperation Office in Madrid to serve as a liaison to the former China UPM office. In 2014, he was appointed under the Chinese Government's prestigious ‘National High-End Foreign Expert Program’ to a 3-year Guest Professorship at Shanghai's Tongji University. After that, in 2017, he gained a three-years-term position (2017-2019) as Guest Professor to the Tongji College of Electronics and Information Engineering, in Shanghai (China). He has also taught in the “Institut d’Electronique, de Microélectronique, et de Nanotechnologie”, at the University of Lille (France), under an Erasmus+ funded program in 2017.

From 1999 to 2009, he was director of a postgraduate program on Satellite Communications at Technical University of Madrid; from 2007 to 2010, he was also in charge of a Summer Course on Satellite Technology Applications and Services offered in the Technical University of Madrid Summer Campus at the Royal Site of La Granja de San Ildefonso, Segovia, Spain; and from January 2010 to December 2012, he was Director of a Master's Program Degree on Satellite Technology at Technical University of Madrid.

Currently, his research interest is focused on the wireless communication and the wireless channel modeling. In addition, he is a specialist in the history of electrical and electronic engineering, with special emphasis in the history of telecommunication and the development of the Information society. Yuste's historical studies have been published in the Proceedings of the IEEE and have been presented in different IEEE International Conferences. Some remarkable results in this area were the organization of an International Exhibition dedicated to Nikola Tesla in Madrid, Spain (2008), a research work on the Spanish Engineer Leonardo Torres Quevedo and his Telekino, which led to the dedication of an IEEE Milestone in Electrical Engineering and Computing in Madrid in March 2007, and a research work on the Spanish Enlightenment scientist Francisco Salva Campillo and his early contribution to the development of the electric telegraph, which led to the dedication of a second IEEE Milestone in Barcelona in May 2019.

He has taught undergraduate courses on Analog and Digital Communications, Electromagnetism and Wave Propagation and their related laboratories. He has also taught undergraduate courses on Policy and Regulation of Telecommunications in Spain, and graduate courses on the History of Telecommunications. At present, he teaches a first-year course on Introduction to Telecommunications, a second-year course on Theory of Communications, and a fourth year course on Wireless Communications, all at Technical University of Madrid.

He gained his B.Eng. in RadioCommunications (1991), M.Eng. in Telecommunications (1996) and Ph.D. (cum laude) in Telecommunications Engineering (2004), all from the Technical University of Madrid. His Ph.D. thesis was related to the history of the Spanish Telephone Service. He also obtained his B.Sc. in physics (1992) from the National University for Distance Education (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia), Spain.

He received the ‘INISEL Award’ to the best Bachelor Thesis, in 1991, and was distinguished with the ‘Faculty Collaboration Award’ from the Escuela Universitaria de Ingeniería Técnica de Telecomunicación (EUITT) in 1996. He also received the ‘Technical University of Madrid Medal’ in 2004 for his outstanding work as a faculty director, the ‘Technical University of Madrid Award to Innovation in Education’, in 2009, for his best educational practices carried out in the past five years, and the 'Technical University of Madrid Award to Excellence in Education', in 2018, for his remarkable academic career.

Yuste is IEEE Member (from January 1993), IEEE Senior Member (from May 2011), member of the IEEE Spain Section Executive Committee (from January 2012), and former member of the IEEE History Committee (from 2011 to 2018). He was IEEE Milestones Coordinator for IEEE Regions 8 to 10 during two years (2012-2013), member of IEEE Awards Sub-Committee in the IEEE History Committee for one year (2016), and Appointed Member of the SHOT International Outreach Committee for three years (2010-2012). As a graduate student at Technical University of Madrid, he was originally the promoter of its Alumni Social Site in LinkedIn, and is currently acting as his Community Manager.
