Juan Rodríguez was born in Avilés, Spain, in 1991. He received the M.Sc. degree in telecommunication engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Oviedo, Spain, in 2014 and 2018, respectively.

From February 2015 to October 2019 he was a researcher of the Power Supply System Group at Universidad de Oviedo. Since November 2019, he has been an Assistant Professor at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. He has been honored with several awards, including “Premio INDRA a la Mejor Trayectoria Académica en Ingeniería de Telecomunicación” (granted by Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación) and “2019 IEEE PELS Prize Ph.D. Thesis Talk (P3 Talk) Award” (granted by IEEE Power Electronics Society).

His current research interests include high-frequency power converters, wide bandgap semiconductors, and LED drivers for visible light communication.
