The Spanish National Council of Scientific Research (CSIC, for its Spanish initials) has published its first ranking of the 5,600 most outstanding Spanish and foreign female scientists<\/a><\/strong> who conduct research in Spanish organizations. In order to calculate this ranking, the CSIC used the public profile indicators in Google Scholar database. This search engine, specialized in scientific content and bibliography, was created in 2004 and lets users locate scholarly documents.<\/p>\n

68 of the researchers on the most outstanding female scientists list come from the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Val\u00e8ncia (UPV), three of which – Sandra Sendra, Ivana Gasulla and M\u00f3nica Catal\u00e1 – come from Campus Gandia of the UPV. Sendra is ranked number 1,309 in the national ranking; Gasulla comes in at 2,313 and Catal\u00e1 at number 4,577 of the list (as per the June 15th update)<\/p>\n

Sandra Sendra: in the top ten UPV female researchers in the CSIC ranking<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sandra Sendra<\/a>, full professor at the University, is a member of the Research Institute for the Integrated Management of Coastal Zones (IGIC). In addition, since February 2021 she has been the academic director of the Degree in Interactive Technologies at Campus Gandia, where she also studied her university degrees.<\/p>\n

In terms of her research career, Sendra is focused on the field of sensor design, use of new wireless technologies for the implementation of sensor networks, communications protocols<\/strong> and algorithms for the development of solutions in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT), among others. She was recently granted the project “Network of sensors and Big Data for the observation of the marine environment (SALVADOR)”<\/strong>. This marine research projec<\/a>t that she co-directs aims to design, develop and deploy low-cost sensor nodes adapted to underwater monitoring in order to create a marine observatory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sendra is a Technical Engineer in Telecommunications, specializing in Electronic Systems, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Telecommunications, Sound and Image Systems and a PhD from the UPV in Electronic Engineering. Since 2020, she has appeared as one of the leading Spanish female researchers<\/a> in the field of Telecommunications according to the h-index research performance score calculated by Clarivate Analytics, and is also leading international research scientist<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As Sandra Sendra underscored, \u201cfor a researcher it is important to see their effort recognized. Research requires a lot of effort and time and often times doesn’t offer the expected immediate results. However, perseverance and teamwork are usually good allies to bring you closer to success.\u201d In addition, she highlighted that “personally, being among the top ten female researchers at the UPV and, furthermore, having the opportunity to carry out my teaching and research activity on Campus Gandia itself, is a true honor”.<\/p>\n
