Simon Rommel obtained his B.Sc. degree from the University of Stuttgart, Germany in 2011 and in 2014 obtained M.Sc. degrees in Photonic Networks Engineering from Aston University, Birmingham, UK and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa, Italy. He completed his Ph.D. in 2017 at the Technical University of Denmark, Kongens Lyngby, Denmark with research focused on photonic-wireless convergence and millimeter-wave radio-over-fiber links. Between 2014 and 2017 he was with the Technical University of Denmark, with a research stay at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology, Koganei, Tokyo, Japan in 2017. Since 2017 he is with the Eindhoven University of Technology as a postdoctoral researcher, continuing his work photonic and radio frequency technologies with a strong focus on implementations for 5G. His research interests include the fields of fiber-optic and wireless communications and the associated digital signal processing. Dr. Rommel is a member of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), The Optical Society (OSA), the Institution of Engineering and Technology

Rafael Puerta received his B.Sc. degree in 2010 and M.Sc. degree in 2014 in electronics engineering from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (PUJ) in Bogotá, Colombia. Previously, he has worked as a research assistant and as an embedded software engineer for multiple projects in Colombia. Dr. Puerta completed his Ph.D. studies in photonics engineering in 2017 at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark. During his Ph.D. he was a guest researcher at the Warsaw University of Technology in Poland during 2015 working in 100G datacenter links, and at the ZTE research center in New Jersey, USA, during July 2016 working in high-capacity fiber-wireless links. As well, he was a research intern at Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. in Kawasaki, Japan, from June to September 2017. His research interests are within the areas of digital control, digital signal processing for high-speed fiber-optic and fiber-wireless links, advance modulation schemes, and MIMO algorithms for multi-antenna systems. Currently, Dr. Puerta is a Lecturer at the PUJ and works at Ericsson as an Algorithm Engineer.

Daniel Jaramillo-Ramírez received the B.Sc. degree from Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in Medellin, Colombia in 2006, the M.Sc. degree from Universidad de los Andes, Bogota, Colombia, in 2008 and the Ph.D. degree from Supélec (Ecole Supérieure d'Electricité), France in 2014. From 2010 to 2014 he worked as a research engineer in Orange Labs, France. His Ph.D. subject was related to interference mitigation techniques in cellular networks. From August 2014 he joined the Department of Electronics Engineering at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogota, Colombia, as an Assistant Professor. He is an active researcher in both wireless communications and urban transportation.

Luis Felipe Ariza Vesga is the Director of Research and Development of the Laboratory of Research and Development of Tolú S.A.S (ID:TOLÚ). He works on next-generation telecommunication systems in Colombia that will help the post-pandemic economic reactivation and social and labor inclusion in projects such as TVWS, 5G broadcast, 5G IoT, 5G non-terrestrial communications, 5G cloud-agnostic RAN, and 5G New Radio. He received his B.Sc in Electronic Engineering from Universidad Nacional de Colombia in 2006 and his M.Ss in Electronic Engineering from Universidad de los Andes in 2013. He was a Radio Frequency student of the CI-Brasil program in Campinas, Brazil for 2011, he joined the same program as a Radio Frequency professor, and then he was a special Electrical Engineering student from UNICAMP for 2012. He was a visiting Ph.D. at EURECOM (Campus SophiaTech in France) to study frequency domain methodologies for Cloud Radio Access Networks and large-scale network emulations in 2017 and he finished his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Universidad Nacional de Colombia in the second semester of 2020. The subject of his Ph.D. is the optimization of 5G cellular networks (Coordinated Scheduling and Planning) using the OpenAirInteface platform.
