Hello!
My name is David Lago-Cachón. I am a highly motivated applied physicist with 17 years of experience, currently working in the defense industry. My main expertise is about electro-optical systems, RF communications, sensor development, and nanotechnology. I have led R&D projects, manage high-tech laboratories, and drive innovation in defense and aerospace applications. I am a rigorous, methodical, and results-driven professional with a multidisciplinary approach to solving complex challenges.
I have worked as postdoctoral fellow at the Communication and Computing Lab, from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) since March 2020 until September 2023. In addition to research I also acted as Lab Manager, Lab Safety Representative and Webmaster. My research topics currently are Full Duplex wireless communication, Human Body Networks and high frequency biosensors.
From June 2018 to June 2020 I have been working in the Sensing, Magnetism and Microsystems group, from same University. I worked as Lab Manager, Lab Safety Representative and responsible for a Vibrating-Sample Magnetometer. My research topics were nanowires fabrication, Tunneling Magnetoresistance sensors fabrication and magnetic characterization.
During 2017 I worked at the Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit (SC+iU) of University of Oviedo.
In October 2016 I finished my PhD, entitled “Impeditive sensor of superparamagnetic nanoparticles and its application to PSA quantification“. This work deals with a new method of detection of superparamagnetic nanoparticles and its application for detection of biological entities, as cells or proteins. The application of biosensors implies several disciplines like biology, medicine, chemistry, physics and engineering, therefore this is a multidisciplinary thesis. Download (spanish).
During my PhD, I have been highly implicated in Science Communication. I have given talks in schools, pubs and even a TEDx. Also, I have been interviewed and consulted by local and regional media. With some friends we created an astronomy club (called Clear Skies) and organized star parties and other public events with high attendance.
